Here's the whole enchilada from fresh roasting in the oven to slices for the sandwich. Now, if you've been reading my blog, you know that I love the Honeysuckle Boneless Breast of Turkey. I get it specifically for my honey's lunchbox after we have a meal from the initial oven roasting.
Here's another way to make a roasted turkey sandwich. Start with a whole turkey and roast a day or two earlier. Refrigerate and serve cold turkey sandwiches. You don't need to wait until Thanksgiving to enjoy turkey. Turkey is good and healthy, too, anytime. Yum for the tum hot... or cold.
Roasted Turkey Sandwich
Ingredients:
1 (8-pound) turkey
Cooking spray
1/2 lb. unsalted butter, softened, divided
10 stems cilantro
10 thyme sprigs
Sea salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
12 slices Tuscan bread
Mayonnaise
Tomatoes, sliced
Pea greens
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
2. Put the turkey in a roasting pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Rub 1/4 pound of the softened butter under the skin, then insert the cilantro and thyme sprigs, being careful not to break the skin. Rub the remaining butter on the outside of the skin and then sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Roast the turkey for 2 1/2 hours.
3. Remove the turkey from the oven to a cutting board and let rest for 30 minutes. Carve the turkey into slices. Toast the bread and build the sandwiches using mayonnaise, turkey, sliced tomatoes and pea greens.

Toasting the bread is optional. I like fresh, untoasted bread myself.
That's it for today, blog.
