  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  30      spears        asparagus (fresh, frozen or canned)
     1/4  cup           mayonnaise
     1/4  cup           prepared mustard
     1/2  cup           chopped almonds
   8      slices        toasted white bread
  30      thin slices   packaged turkey
                        cellophane-tipped toothpicks

If you use fresh or frozen asparagus spears, prepare them by steaming until
just tender.

Cut the spears uniformly to fit the length of the turkey slices.

Combine the mayonnaise and mustard and mix thoroughly.  Trim the crusts from
the bread and cut each slice into 4 1-inch-wide strips.  Spread the
mayonnaise-mustard sauce on each toast strip.  Sprinkle lightly with
almonds.

Place an asparagus spear on the bread strip and roll up in a turkey slice.
Fasten the roll with a cellophane-tipped toothpick and refrigerate until
serving time.  Makes 30.

Special Hints:  Turkey slices fresh off the bird won't work in this recipe,
so look for the packaged slices at the market or deli.
Trim the asparagus spears at the stalk end so that the pointed tip remains,
adding a decorative effect that will extend slightly beyond the turkey
slice.
