California Turkey Vegetable Sandwich Recipes

GRILLED CALIFORNIA TURKEY CLUB SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
• Butter one side of a piece of bread and place it butter-side down on the skillet.
• Add a slice of cheese and then layer bacon and turkey.
• Top with another slice of bread that has been generously buttered.
• Flip the sandwich when lightly browned.
• Grill opposite side until nicely browned and remove from skillet.
• Meanwhile, mix together 1 ripe avocado and 2 Tbls of sour cream. I use about ¼ of an avocado per sandwich.
• Spread the avocado mixture on the piece of bread that does not have melted cheese.
• Layer on lettuce and tomato if desired. Enjoy!

CALIFORNIA WRAP SANDWICH

Steps:

• Wrap tortillas in barely damp, doubled layers of paper towels and microwave on high for 45 to 60 seconds. Alternatively, heat the tortillas individually in an un-greased large skillet over medium heat.
• Lay the tortillas on a cutting board and start to layer the ingredients. Fan the leaf lettuce on the top three-quarters of each tortilla then lay the turkey slices on top, followed by the bacon, tomato, and avocado. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Top with the arugula and some of the dressing. Fold up the bottom quarter of the tortilla and then start to roll each sandwich into a cone shape. Secure the tortilla with a toothpick. Serve immediately.
• Mash the garlic and salt to a paste with the side of a chef's knife. In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic, mayonnaise, 1/4-cup buttermilk, parsley, chives, scallion, vinegar, and pepper to taste. If the sauce is very thick, thin the dressing with a couple more tablespoons of the buttermilk. Use immediately or refrigerate, covered, for up to 3 days.

CALIFORNIA GRILLED VEGGIE SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Set aside in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the grill for high heat.
• Brush vegetables with olive oil on each side. Brush grate with oil. Place bell peppers and zucchini closest to the middle of the grill, and set onion and squash pieces around them. Cook for about 3 minutes, turn, and cook for another 3 minutes. The peppers may take a bit longer. Remove from grill, and set aside.
• Spread some of the mayonnaise mixture on the cut sides of the bread, and sprinkle each one with feta cheese. Place on the grill cheese side up, and cover with lid for 2 to 3 minutes. This will warm the bread, and slightly melt the cheese. Watch carefully so the bottoms don't burn. Remove from grill, and layer with the vegetables. Enjoy as open faced grilled sandwiches.

THE BESTEST TURKEY-VEGGIE SANDWICH FOR LUNCHES!!

Steps:

• Chop onion and green (or red) bell pepper, and sprinkle evenly on one slice of bread.
• Layer turkey breast on top.
• Place cucumber slices on top of turkey (I usually place the slices on paper towels for a few minutes to draw out the moisture, then press with another paper towel on top) Break up lettuce and distribute evenly over cucumbers.
• On the other slice of bread, spread mustard, then sprinkle with salt or Accent, black pepper, and garlic powder; place this slice of bread over the other to make a sandwich.
• Wrap in wax paper, place in fridge, and you will have a healthy, filling sandwich for your lunchbreak tomorrow.
