"MIND BLOWING" TURKEY SANDWICH

Steps:

• For the tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• On a small rimmed baking sheet, spread the tomatoes, olive oil, salt, garlic and basil. Toss well to coat. Roast until the tomatoes are popped and beginning to brown, about 25 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
• For the spread: Mix together the mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl.
• For the sandwich: Lay out the bread and spread the mayonnaise-mustard mixture on each slice. Working 2 slices at a time, place 2 lettuce leaves on one slice and about 6 roasted tomatoes on the opposite slice. Ribbon 3 slices of turkey on the lettuce. Place the 2 halves together and secure with 2 toothpicks with a cornichon on each one. Continue with the remaining ingredients. Cut in half before serving.

PETE'S "RUBBED AND ALMOST FRIED" TURKEY SANDWICH

Steps:

• Whisk the vinegar and olive oil together in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Slice the focaccia into 4 equal pieces; then slice each piece horizontally for sandwiches. Spread some of the Dijon mustard on the cut side of the bottom half of each focaccia. Top bread evenly with turkey, peppers, and season with salt and pepper. Add mozzarella and baby greens, and drizzle the balsamic dressing on top. Smear the top half of each focaccia with Key Lime Garlic Mayonnaise, and place on top of greens to finish sandwich. Brush the tops and bottoms of each sandwich with olive oil.
• Heat a sandwich press, or use cast iron pans and aluminum foil covered bricks to press sandwiches. Cook the sandwiches, in batches if needed, until the cheese melts and the bread is toasted. Serve.

• Special Equipment: deep heavy-bottomed pot for frying turkey
• Process the garlic, herbs, lemon zest, salt and pepper in a food processor fitted with the metal blade until coarsely ground. Rub mixture generously over turkey breast. Roll the turkey breast into a compact shape by turning the smaller end of the breast under. Wrap tightly in 3 layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
• Fill a deep heavy-bottomed pot 2/3's full with oil. Heat over medium-high until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350 degrees F. Fry the turkey breast, wrapped in the foil, for 35 minutes or 12 minutes per pound. Carefully remove turkey from oil and set aside, wrapped in the foil, to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate turkey until firm enough to thinly slice, at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Pulse the egg, mustard, garlic and lime juice in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. With the machine running, add the oil in a steady stream until the mixture is pale in color and thick. Transfer mayonnaise to a bowl, stir in zest, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

GOURMET TURKEY SANDWICH

Steps:

• Slice the tomatoes at least an hour before assembling the sandwich and marinate them in the balsalmic vinegar, for one to 12 hours before hand. To assemble the sandwich, slice the roll lengthwise and pull some of the bread out of the top half, leaving an indented depression. On the other half, layer the lettuse, cheese and Turkey. Salt and pepper to taste. If the sandwich is to be eaten immediately, go ahead and put the tomatoes on top and reassemble the loaf. Slice into 4 6" sandwiches and serve. If you are preparing these for a picnic, transport the tomatoes in a closed container in your cooler and add them at the last minute to prevent the bread from getting soggy.
