DELI-STYLE ROAST TURKEY FOR SANDWICHES



Deli-Style Roast Turkey for Sandwiches image

I'm excited to be sharing just how simple and easy it is to roast and slice your own turkey breast for sandwiches, which might not seem like something worth doing-until you actually do it. And no, enjoying fresh turkey sandwiches once a year after Thanksgiving is not enough.

Provided by Chef John

Time 9h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (2 1/2 to 3 pound) skin-on, bone-in split turkey breast
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees (230 degrees C).
  • Pat turkey breast with a paper towel to remove any excess liquid and place into a baking dish just big enough to fit it. Use the tip of a sharp small knife to poke the skin of the turkey breast all over. Drizzle over olive oil and use tongs to rub; flip turkey breast over a few times, or until all surfaces are coated with the oil. You can also use a brush. Set aside for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • While turkey rests, mix salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, oregano, and paprika together in a small bowl until thoroughly combined.
  • Use tongs to grab the turkey breast with one hand while using your other hand to sprinkle the spice rub evenly over the entire surface, including the sides. Finish with the skin side facing up.
  • Add about 1/2 inch of water to the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Place prepared turkey breast into the center of the oven. Immediately lower the heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Roast until a probe thermometer stuck into center of the thickest part of the breast reads 150 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Let cool before wrapping. Chill thoroughly in the refrigerator, about 8 hours, or overnight. Once meat is cold, slice thinly and serve.

ALE BRINED ROASTED TURKEY SANDWICH



Ale Brined Roasted Turkey Sandwich image

Provided by Guy Fieri Bio & Top Recipes

Time 2h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 30

1 (2 1/2 to 3-pound) bone in turkey breast
12 ounces beer (recommended: Pale ale or IPA style)
3 tablespoons stone-ground Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
3/4 cup Italian giardiniera marinated veggies (jarred)
4 tablespoons Roasted Red Bell Pepper Pesto, plus more as desired, recipe follows
1 (24-inch) seeded sourdough loaf
3 slices provolone cheese, cut in half
Rojo Rings, recipe follows
3 large red bell peppers
1/2 cup loosely packed basil leaves
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon anchovy paste
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cups canola oil
1/2 cup hot sauce (recommended: Sriracha)
2/3 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon water
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cup panko bread crumbs
2 large sweet onions, such as Vidalia, Walla Walla or Maui, peeled and cut into 3/8-inch thick rings, discarding cores
1 teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Rinse the turkey breast under cool water and pat dry. In a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag, add the beer, mustard, agave, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine, then add the turkey breast, making sure it is fully coated with the marinade. Put the bag into a bowl to avoid any leakage and refrigerate for 45 minutes. Do not marinate it longer than 45 minutes or the breast will become overly salty. While the turkey is brining, prepare the Red Bell Pepper Pesto.
  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Drain the turkey brine and put the breast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan (Chef's Note: Do not rinse turkey). Roast until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, on an instant-read thermometer, inserted in the thickest part of the breast, about 1 hour. Remove the turkey from the oven and allow it to cool. This entire process can be done ahead of time. Refrigerate the meat until you are ready to assemble the sandwich.
  • After the turkey has cooled, remove all of the meat from the bone and slice it diagonally into 1/2-inch thick portions. Roughly chop 3/4 cup of the giardiniera vegetables and add them to a small bowl. Add 4 tablespoons of the Red Bell Pepper Pesto and toss to combine. Slice the bread, and lightly spread the pieces with some of the leftover pesto. Begin layering your sandwich with the provolone on the bottom, then the sliced turkey and the giardiniera mixture. Top everything with the Rojo Rings, cover with another slice of bread and then serve.
  • Set a grill to high heat. Grill the red bell peppers until the skins have blackened. Remove them from the heat and put them in a small bowl. Cover the bowl and let them steam. Cool them from 10 minutes to 1 hour, then carefully remove the skin and seeds. Do not rinse them with water.
  • Add the roasted peeled peppers, basil, garlic, cheese, nuts, red pepper flakes, anchovy paste, salt and pepper to a food processor. Pulse until fully combined. Gradually add in the olive oil while the processor is running and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Refrigerate the pesto until ready to use.
  • In a heavy bottom skillet or deep-fryer, heat the oil to 370 degrees F.
  • Combine the hot sauce, ketchup and water in a shallow bowl until incorporated. In 4 separate, shallow bowls or pie pans, separate the buttermilk, flour and panko and put all the bowls in this work order: buttermilk, flour, hot sauce mixture, panko bread crumbs.
  • Dip the onion rings into the buttermilk, then in the flour, then into the hot sauce mixture and finish them with the panko.
  • Submerge the rings in batches and deep-fry until bright red and starting to brown, about 2 to 3 minutes, turning as needed. Once fried, remove them from the oil to a plate lined with a paper towel and sprinkle with sea salt.

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 33

1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup kosher salt
2 bay leaves
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh thyme
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
3 cups ice cubes
1 bone-in skin-on turkey breast (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
Finely grated zest of 2 Meyer lemons
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 pound cremini mushrooms, cut in half
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 to 4 turns of fresh ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons fresh flat-leave parsley, chopped fine
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup unsalted chicken broth
4 torpedo rolls, sliced lengthwise and scooped
1/4 cup black truffle paste/pate or truffle oil
8 ounces truffled gouda, sliced
4 ounces baby arugula

Steps:

  • For the brine: Combine the honey, salt, bay leaves, garlic, rosemary, thyme, red pepper flakes and 1 cup water in a large saucepot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Turn off the heat and add the ice cubes. Place the turkey and brine into a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Remove from the brine and pat dry with paper towels.
  • For the herb-roasted turkey breast: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Combine the garlic, parsley, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, olive oil, salt and black pepper in a small mixing bowl and mix well. Rub the turkey all over with the herb-olive oil mixture to completely cover.
  • Place the turkey in a large cast-iron skillet and roast for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 300 degrees F and cook until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, 75 minutes to 90 minutes. Cover with foil if the turkey starts to get too dark. Let the turkey rest for 10 minutes. Reserve all the juices from the bottom of the skillet.
  • Shred the turkey when cool enough to handle and reserve.
  • For the grilled cremini mushrooms: Preheat a grill to high. Add the creminis, olive oil, thyme, salt and pepper to a medium mixing bowl and toss well to coat. Place the creminis on the grill and char on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Reserve the mushrooms.
  • For the garlic butter: In a medium saucepan, combine the butter and garlic over medium heat and cook until the garlic becomes fragrant, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the parsley and mix well. Transfer to a small bowl and reserve.
  • For the sandwiches: Increase the oven to 425 degrees F. In the same pan the turkey was roasted in, heat the flour and 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat, whisking together to make a roux. Cook, whisking often, for 5 minutes. Stir in the wine, then add the cremini mushrooms and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until the gravy is reduced by half, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and shredded turkey in a large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Let the turkey crisp in the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Lightly brush the rolls with the garlic butter and toast in the oven until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Spoon 1 tablespoon black truffle paste on a roll. Top with 2 ounces of the sliced truffle gouda laid from end to end, a quarter of the crisped turkey and some arugula. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the gravy over the roasted turkey. Make 3 more sandwiches with the remaining ingredients. Serve immediately with extra gravy on the side.

TURKEY SANDWICH



Turkey Sandwich image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (2 pound) bone-in turkey breast
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
8 slices bacon
1/2 cup water
1 head iceberg lettuce, outer leaves removed, cored, quartered, and shredded
4 (6-inch) hero rolls, or 8 thick slices sourdough bread
1 avocado, peeled, pitted, quartered, and cut into slices
1 green apple, washed, cored, halved, and cut into thin slices

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the turkey breast skin-side up on a roasting tray. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme - you don't need any oil as this is a dry roast method. Roast the turkey until the skin is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest and meatiest areas of the breast, 1 hour. Remove the turkey from the tray and set aside on a plate to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving the meat into slices.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, heavy cream, poppy seeds, and a pinch of salt. Whisk to blend. Taste for seasoning.
  • In a medium skillet, lay out the bacon strips and add the water. Bring the water to a simmer and allow all of the water to reduce and cook until the bacon strips get crispy. It will make your bacon crispier! Reserve some of the bacon grease in a small bowl. Meanwhile, toss together the dressing and the iceberg lettuce and refrigerate.
  • Slice the rolls lengthwise and open up. Place the rolls (or bread slices) in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in the center of the oven. Toast on both sides until light brown.
  • Layer some of the iceberg on 4 bases of the rolls. Top with some layers of turkey. Drizzle with a touch of the bacon grease. Layer a few slices of avocado and apple on each. Top with 2 bacon slices each and another layer of the iceberg. Top with the top halves of the rolls. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.

POP'S ROAST TURKEY SANDWICH



Pop's Roast Turkey Sandwich image

I recently ate at a small lunch place in Southington, CT. I ate a version of this sandwich, although they used smoked pork loin instead of turkey. Obviously, if you happen to have any leftover pork loin or even roasted ham, feel free to substitute for the turkey. I made my own version at home, and the turkey was what I used (I also used the lesser amounts).

What a lovely surprise this sandwich is. Not only does it taste great, it is really quick and easy to make. Make sure to use the chutney it adds a nice depth to the overall flavor of the sandwich.

Provided by Baby Kato

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 10m

Yield 1 sandwich, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 slices bread, Italian, thick
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or miracle whip)
1 tomatoes, cut into four thin slices
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper, fresh ground black
1 tablespoon basil, thinly sliced fresh
3 slices turkey, oven roasted
2 slices cheese, provolone
1 tablespoon mango chutney
1 tablespoon butter, frying

Steps:

  • Spread the mayonnaise on the two slices of bread.
  • Add the tomato slices and sprinkle with salt and ground pepper.
  • Next add the sliced basil over the tomato.
  • Now add the turkey slices.
  • Add the mango chutney to one of the slices of cheese, then top with the other slice.
  • Lastly you will add the cheese slices over top of the turkey meat.
  • Top with your remaining slice of bread and lightly butter, both sides.
  • Place in a medium low pan and fry until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turkey: Opt for a fresh or frozen turkey that is at least 12 pounds. A larger turkey will yield more leftovers for sandwiches.
  • Brine the turkey: Brining helps to keep the turkey moist and flavorful. You can brine the turkey in a simple solution of water, salt, and sugar for 12-24 hours before roasting.
  • Roast the turkey properly: Cook the turkey at a temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the turkey is cooked through without drying out.
  • Let the turkey rest before carving: Once the turkey is cooked, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Use a sharp knife to carve the turkey: A sharp knife will help you to get clean, even slices of turkey. A dull knife will tear the meat and make it difficult to carve.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Once you have carved the turkey, add your favorite toppings to your sandwiches. Some popular choices include stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy, and mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Roasted turkey sandwiches are a delicious and easy way to use up your leftover turkey. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect roasted turkey sandwich that is sure to please everyone at your table.
