TURKEY PATTY MELT

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, season with some salt and pepper, and cook until golden, about 7 minutes. Put in a bowl and set aside. Wipe out the skillet and add another tablespoon of oil. Season the turkey patties with salt and pepper, and cook in the remaining oil until well browned, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet. Wipe out the pan.
• Divide the onions among 4 bread slices, and top with a slice of cheese, a patty, another slice of cheese, and a slice of bread. Spread the top and bottom of the sandwiches with some butter. Heat the cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cook the sandwiches, in batches if needed, turning once, until lightly browned and the cheese melts, about 2 minutes per side. Halve the sandwiches and serve with cranberry sauce, if desired.

TURKEY PATTY MELT

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.

TURKEY REUBEN MELTS

Steps:

• Preheat a large griddle or 2 large non-stick saute pans on low heat. In a small saucepan heat the peanut oil until very hot. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and vinegar. Add the Szechwan peppercorns and pepper flakes to the hot oil and immediately add it to the vinegar. In a large bowl, mix together the cabbage, carrots and scallions. Toss the salad with the vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper. Lay out the slices of rye and top each 1 with a slice of cheese then a slice of seasoned turkey. Place a small mound of the slaw (use tongs to strain off excess liquid) on the turkey and close sandwich. Butter the top part of the sandwich. Add some butter to the griddle and move sandwich around to completely coat with butter. When brown, about 5 to 7 minutes, flip over sandwich and brown other side, 5 to 7 more minutes. Slice on the bias and serve hot.
