As I was traveling back from Chateau on the Lake in Branson, Missouri my friend and I decided to stop off in Clinton, Missouri to have lunch. Please forgive me. I can't remember the name of the little restaurant but fear not, I'm taking my daughter in about a week and I will get you the name of the restaurant that stole my heart. Anyway, we had the most amazing sandwich there. I had to come home and recreate it. Here is my interpretation...
Ingredients:
6 sweet sandwich rolls (similar to Hawaiian rolls but bigger)
1 pound of your favorite smoked turkey
6 slices of sharp cheddar cheese
1 green apple washed, cored, and cut thinly
4 oz. cream cheese
1 to 2 tablespoons honey
6 tablespoons herb infused butter
1 pat of butter (which is about a tablespoon)
Cast iron skillet or whatever you have
First, we must make our condiment that will be spread on our delicious sweet bread.
Place your cream cheese in a bowl. Then, add your honey. I know this is stretching your expertise in the kitchen (big smile). You will not be disappointed when your taste buds get socked with an explosion of flavors.
Now, grab your turkey off the bone....LOL. I'm just kidding :) Well, not unless you just cooked a turkey, otherwise, grab your smoked turkey out of the wrapper. Place the turkey in your cast iron skillet on medium with a pat of butter. Brown!!!
While your turkey is browning, you can go ahead and slice up your green apples very thinly :)
When you're finish slicing the apple, spread your herb-infused butter on your sandwich roll. Then, place your sharp cheddar cheeses slices over your meat. Let it melt.
Okay!!! Heat up your other pan. Then, grill your bread :)
Give me a drum roll please.......I'll wait for it......Here is how you assemble your incredible sandwich.
Spread your cream cheese mixture on the both sides of your bread, Add your melted, cheesy, turkey meat, followed by your apple slices and then top with your topper....Get ready for a wonderful surprise of complementary flavors to express themselves in a very unique way. I served my sandwiches along side baked sweet potato fries with rosemary from my garden. Enjoy :) Melt a little butter into a mini-cast iron skillet. Add your rosemary. Then, pour it over your sweet potatoes fries. Bake at 400 degrees for about 25 to 30 minutes or until fork-tender :)
Here is the funny part, I got so excited about eating this sandwich that I ate most of mine when I remembered I had not taken a picture of the end product... LOL... This is all I had left when I remembered that you would be wanting a picture :)
Proverbs 22:9, " Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor."
