This was certainly not your 'Basic' Sandwich! 

With the perfect combination of flavor and texture, my All-American Tangy Smokehouse Turkey Melt was the bomb! 

A sandwich worth eating, my Tangy Smokehouse Turkey Melt certainly stood out to the judges! With juicy Foster Farms sliced turkey and classic Southern ingredients, it was no surprise to hear that I had made it to the Top 5! 

RECIPE:

Tangy Smokehouse Turkey Melt

Ingredients: 

  • 1/2 cup whole cranberry sauce
  • 1/4 cup hickory barbecue sauce
  • 2 Tbsp habanero jelly
  • 1 1/2 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 bakery-fresh hoagie rolls, split
  • 2 cups rainbow Swiss chard, de-stemmed and shredded
  • 4 slices munster cheese

Directions: 

  1. In food processor or blender, puree cranberry sauce, barbecue sauce and habanero jelly; set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat oil. In a medium bowl, combine flour, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper and salt; add onions and toss to coat; remove excess flour and fry in hot oil till golden; set aside over a paper towel.
  3. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat turkey slices generously (both sides) with prepared tangy barbecue sauce. Place 6 slices (crimped) over bottom side of roll. Top with 1 cup Swiss chard and two slices cheese. Bake for 2-3 minutes or till cheese is melted; remove from the oven.
  4. Top with 1/2 of the crispy onion sticks and spread more sauce on the inside of bread roll (top side). Enjoy!
