This week my turkey recipe comes from Moses Lake WA. and comes from a café ran by high school students. The café is called Chief Academy Café. When I am in town I always stopping by to help out. This is my favorite sandwich,I add mustard to my sandwich. The bread is made fresh everyday. You can get either half or full with freshly made soup, and being a bakery, you have to try some of the pastries.  Make sure you swing by their Facebook page and become a fan.
