ELENA RUZ SANDWICH (CUBAN TURKEY SANDWICH)



Elena Ruz Sandwich (Cuban Turkey Sandwich) image

This is a strange combination, but trust me, it is very good! The story goes that Elena Ruz, a society young socialite for which the sandwich is named, would stop at this little all-night restaurant, El Carmelo, in Vedado neighborhood in Havana Cuba, after leaving the dance with her group of friends. She asked the waiter if he could fix her this sandwich after she told them how to make it. After that she would always ask for the Elena Ruz Sandwich and to this day that is how the sandwich is known. This recipe has been printed on many of the Cuban Food web sites. It is great for leftover turkey. Update 03/13/2006 you can also use sweet rolls(the kind you use for a media noche). However, the real McCoy is white bread without crusts and lightly toasted and then the cream cheese would be spread, then the turkey and strawberry jelly on the other slice and voila!

ROAST TURKEY, AVOCADO AND BACON SANDWICH



Roast Turkey, Avocado and Bacon Sandwich image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Yield 3 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 sprigs thyme
2 sprigs tarragon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 (4-pound) turkey breast
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 slices country bread
1/2 pound fontina cheese, sliced thinly
1 large ripe avocado
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
6 slices maple bacon, cooked until crispy
Pepper lettuce (watercress)
Butter, for sauteeing

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • To prepare the Roast Turkey: toss the herbs and butter into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until green and smooth. Rub the turkey breast with half of the herbed butter and with salt and pepper. Place the turkey on a rack in a roasting pan and put in the oven. Let the turkey cook for 1 hour, basting every 20 minutes with the butter and pan juices. The turkey is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Let rest for 15 minutes on the cutting board.
  • To assemble the sandwich: spread a thin layer of the remaining butter on 1 piece of the bread. Place 1 slice of the cheese and several slices of the turkey breast on unbuttered side of the bread. Peel and slice the avocado, toss with the lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add avocado slices, crispy bacon slices, lettuce and another slice of fontina cheese to the top of that. Sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Slather the remaining piece of bread with the butter and place on unbuttered side out, on top of the bacon.
  • Heat a cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, swirling the pan around to coat. Put the sandwich in the pan and weigh it down with a heavy pot or can (or wrap an ordinary brick in aluminum foil and set it on top to compress the sandwich.) Toast for 1 minute, turn the sandwich over before the bread begins to burn. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve.

HOT TURKEY HORSESHOE SANDWICH



Hot Turkey Horseshoe Sandwich image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Time 30m

Yield 4 open-faced sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 14

One 32-ounce bag frozen french fries
Garlic salt, for sprinkling
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon sriracha
1 cup shredded English Cheddar
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound good quality roasted turkey, sliced thin
4 slices Texas toast, buttered and griddled until golden
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Sliced pickled cherry peppers, for garnish

Steps:

  • Cook fries according to package instructions. Place in a large bowl, then sprinkle with garlic salt and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium pan over medium heat, then add flour and whisk until blonde. Whisk in milk, Worcestershire and sriracha and bring to a simmer, then cook until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk in both cheeses until melted. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Place a couple slices of turkey on the griddled Texas toast, then a pile of French fries; ladle the cheese sauce over the entire thing. Garnish with some parsley and some pickled peppers.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Bread: Opt for sturdy bread like sourdough, ciabatta, or French bread to hold up to the sandwich's fillings. Toasting the bread adds a delightful crunch and enhances the flavors.
  • Preparing the Turkey: For the best taste, use freshly roasted or deli-sliced turkey. Alternatively, you can use leftover Thanksgiving turkey for a flavorful twist.
  • Mayo and Mustard Balance: Create a harmonious blend by combining mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. This classic duo complements the turkey's flavor and adds a touch of tanginess.
  • Adding Texture: Incorporate crispy elements like bacon or fried onions to add texture and contrast to the sandwich. Freshly shredded lettuce provides a refreshing crunch.
  • Cheese Selection: Choose a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, Swiss, or provolone. The melted cheese adds richness and flavor to the sandwich.
  • Balancing Flavors: Create a harmonious balance by adding sweet and tangy elements to complement the savory turkey. Sliced apples, honey mustard, or cranberry sauce can elevate the sandwich's flavors.
  • Fresh Herbs: Elevate the sandwich's flavor profile by incorporating fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano. These herbs add a touch of aromatic freshness.

Conclusion:

Crafting a delectable turkey sandwich requires careful selection of ingredients and a harmonious balance of flavors. Experiment with different bread, condiments, and toppings to create a sandwich that suits your taste preferences. Whether you prefer a classic combination or a more adventurous flavor profile, the turkey sandwich offers endless possibilities for a satisfying and flavorful meal. So, gather your ingredients, let your creativity shine, and enjoy the culinary journey of creating the perfect turkey sandwich.
