1/2 pound sliced turkey
1/2 pound sliced ham
8 slices Swiss cheese
1 cup flour
1 egg
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup water
oil for frying
powdered sugar and raspberry jam for serving

Instructions

Lay 4 slices of the bread on a flat surface.
Layer the ham, then cheese, then turkey onto each piece of bread. Top with the remaining slices of bread.
Place toothpicks into all four corners of each sandwich to secure the sandwiches closed.
Add the flour, egg, baking powder, sugar and water to a medium bowl. Mix until smooth.
Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet to 350 degrees F.
Dredge one sandwich in the batter, making sure all surfaces are covered.
Place in the oil and cook for 2-3 minutes on each surface, turning carefully with the tongs to make sure all sides are browned.
Repeat the batter and cooking process with the remaining sandwiches.
Remove the toothpicks from the sandwiches. Cut each sandwich into quarters.
Sprinkle the sandwiches with powdered sugar and serve with raspberry jam.
