Chipotle Turkey Breast Club Sandwich Recipes

CHIPOTLE TURKEY SANDWICHES WITH BACON AND AVOCADO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack on top. Arrange the bacon on the rack and bake until just crisp and light golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Brush the bacon with 2 tablespoons vinaigrette, turning to coat both sides. Bake until crisp and dark golden, 5 to 8 more minutes. Drain on paper towels and break in half.
• Thinly slice the avocado and season with salt and pepper. Brush the sliced turkey with 2 tablespoons vinaigrette. Mix the mayonnaise with 2 more tablespoons vinaigrette.
• Spread the mayonnaise on the bread. Layer the turkey, avocado and bacon on half of the bread slices, then top with the remaining bread. Serve with plantain chips.

ROAST TURKEY BREAST WITH CHIPOTLE-HERB RUB RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F
• Rinse the turkey breast under cold running water and pat it dry with paper towels. Place it in a baking dish and set it aside.

• Add the olive oil to the mortar and pestle or transfer the mixture to a small bowl and add the olive oil.
• Rub the turkey breast with the chipotle paste.
• Carefully slip your fingers under the skin and put more paste between the skin and the meat.
• Roast the turkey breast in the oven for about 2 hours.
• Let the turkey rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes before carving.

TURKEY CLUB

Steps:

• Bread: Use 3 slices of a good white sandwich bread (pain au lait or Pullman loaves are ideal). Be sure to toast it!
• Lettuce: Bibb and Boston lettuce both have nice small, soft leaves that fit well on the sandwich; shredded iceberg can be unruly.
• Tomatoes: Add 2 slices of tomato to each layer of a club; season with salt and pepper before you continue building the sandwich.
• Turkey: Fresh roasted turkey is key. Rub a 2 1/4-pound skinless, boneless turkey breast with olive oil; sprinkle generously with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Roast 10 minutes at 425˚ F, then reduce to 350˚ F and roast until the internal temperature is 160˚ F, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool, then slice.
• Mayonnaise: Spread a thick layer of mayo on each slice of toasted bread.
• Bacon: You'll want 3 slices per sandwich (1 1/2 slices in each layer). Halve the slices first, then cook in a skillet over medium heat until crisp.

TURKEY-AVOCADO CLUBS

Steps:

• Toss the onion with the vinegar and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Let stand 15 minutes, then drain. Meanwhile, cook the turkey bacon as the label directs until crisp.
• Mash the avocado with the yogurt in another small bowl until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Lay 4 slices of bread on a cutting board and spread with half of the avocado-yogurt mixture. Top with the lettuce and tomato and season with salt and pepper. Add a layer of turkey breast, bacon, cucumber and red onion. Spread the remaining avocado mixture on the remaining 4 bread slices and place spread-side down on top of the sandwiches. Cut each sandwich in half to serve.
