TURKEY PATTY MELT

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 1/4 pounds ground turkey
1/2 cup whole milk ricotta
2 tablespoons minced fresh sage
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons canola oil
8 slices Swiss cheese
8 slices light rye
Caramelized Onions, recipe follows
4 tablespoons salted butter, softened
Yellow mustard, for serving
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 large, yellow onions, 1/4-inch slices
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 cup dry sherry
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • For the turkey patties: In a large bowl, combine the turkey, ricotta, sage, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon and sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Divide into 4 equal patties and press them into 1/4-inch-thin rounds.
  • Heat a cast-iron griddle pan to medium-high heat.
  • Add the canola oil and sear the patties on the first side until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until cooked through.
  • For the sandwich build: Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each piece of bread, then a turkey burger, followed by about 1/4 cup Caramelized Onions. Place the top piece of bread on and then butter each side of the sandwich.
  • Griddle each side over medium heat until golden, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. If you have a metal bowl, cover the sandwiches so they steam a bit and the cheese will melt faster. Serve with good ol' yellow mustard if you like and a big pile of oven fries.
  • Heat a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil, let the butter mel,t and then add in the onions and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and then cover the pot and lower the heat to medium-low.
  • Let the onions sweat, steam and soften for 10 to 15 minutes. Uncover the pan and let the onions cook for about an hour, checking on the onions frequently and stirring.
  • Once the onions are fully caramelized, and a deep golden color, add the sherry and scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the thyme, season with salt and pepper and set aside.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best results, use a high-quality, thick-sliced bread.
  • For a crispier sandwich, butter the outside of the bread before grilling.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also make this sandwich in a panini press or even in a frying pan over medium heat.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. A good melting cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar, is a good choice.
  • If you don't have any fresh dill, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried dill weed.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately with your favorite sides, such as chips, salad, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

The dilly turkey melt is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It is packed with flavor from the turkey, cheese, and dill, and the grilled bread adds a nice crispy touch. With its simple ingredients and quick preparation time, this sandwich is sure to become a favorite in your household.
