Turkey Sandwich

turkey sandwich

I look forward to making sandwiches with the leftover turkey from our Thanksgiving feast every year. The truth is, I look forward to it more than the actual Thanksgiving dinner! There is something special about the taste and texture of turkey that chicken simply cannot replicate. Plus, it’s a nice way to thank the turkey, using up every bit in every imaginable way; as a main dish, gravy sauce, sandwich and soup etc. Especially when combined with slightly citrusy flavoured apples like Cox’s Orange Pippin, turkey becomes an autumn’s official greetings.

For this reason, I was delighted to have found this absolutely delicious turkey recipe from Chef Jonathan Chovancek of Kale & Nori Culinary Arts a couple years ago. Brining may put you off a bit, but the juiciness, texture and flavour you will get are worth the time and money you will spend on this recipe. No more stringy turkey–once you try this recipe, there’ll be no turning back! Just make sure you source the best quality bird. I won’t write the recipe but you can simply visit here.
