The Logroller (dedicated to River Driver)

I used zatar bread (flat round bread with a mix of thyme, olive oil, and sesame seeds) - if there's a bakery near you called Fatima's ask for it there, otherwise you can use pita, "mountain bread," chapati, or a flour tortilla.

Snap the ends off asparagus & steam in a covered casserole in the microwave (this can be done the night before).

Place bread on a plate.  Spread 2/3 (the bit near you that you're going to start rolling with, that will be nearest the middle of the finished rollup) with hummus.  Sprinkle with salt, pepper, onion powder, whatever seasonings you like (my favorite is Jane's Krazy Mixed-Up Salt).  Add steamed asparagus spears and either fresh or preserved red bell peppers on top of hummus.  Put sliced cheddar (preferably sharp Vermont) or Swiss cheese on the remaining 1/3 of the bread.  Microwave 30-45 seconds until cheese melts, and roll up, using gooey cheese to hold it shut.  Cool a bit, wrap it up good, and enjoy at work or on a picnic!

No name for it... just one of my faves:

sliced turkey breast, hard salami, Havarti
Doritos of your choice to make a nice crunch
mayo or french onion dip

Generally made on a wheat crusty bun.

My husband looks forward to this sandwich more than he looks forward to the actual turkey dinner.  This one is best made on a bun as well.  It takes a hardy sliced bread to support it otherwise.  From the bottom, working up:

• sliced leftover turkey
• cranberry sauce (the jam-y sort not the jelly)
• slice of sausage dressing - or a layer
• gravy to soak the dressing
• bacon
• tomato
• lettuce

This thread reminds of the Lawrence Sanders books "The First Deadly Sin," "The Second Deadly Sin"... and so on.  The books centre on Captain Delaney of the New York Police Department.  Anybody read them?  Honestly, I don't remember much about the murders that he investigates but I remember how he was a real connoisseur of sandwiches.  He'd eat "dry" sandwiches at the table over the NYTimes and "wet" sandwiches over the sink. 

It's odd the details that stick with you years after you've read a book.  Plot?  What plot.  I remember the sandwiches.

Speaking of turkey.... Newfoundland has THE BEST  clubhouse sandwich's I've ever had.  I don't know if it's because they use real turkey rather than the deli sliced stuff or maybe it's the mayo.  Yummmmmmmmy!!!

 

I think everyone should have a toaster oven.  I've been putting my sandwiches in the toaster oven for years, long before there was a Quizno's and it really does make a sandwich taste great.

Italian Sandwich Peppers

Get Italian or "cubanelle" sweet green peppers (turning red is OK too).  Core & seed, and cut into large pieces, just small enough so they lay more or less flat.  Sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper, olive oil, and cider vinegar, and nuke for 6-10 minutes (depending on the strength of your microwave and how many you've got) , stirring two or three times, until they're softer but not cooked.

Layer with your favorite cold cuts and spreads on good bread and enjoy!

Love, Columbine (who had them with ham, buffalo turkey, Swiss, and provolone on toasted homemade bread with herb/garlic mayo - mmmm!)

This is my favorite recipe using turkey leftovers...  YUMMY!!!  I don't even want to THINK about the calories, cholesterol, etc. 

Kentucky Hot Brown Sandwiches

 

The sandwich was created in the 1920’s at the historic Brown Hotel in Louisville and includes a rich white sauce, tomato and bacon slices layered over sliced turkey.

 

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 20 minutes

8 servings (small)

 

1 stick (1/2 cup) butter

4 tablespoons flour

½ teaspoon salt

    freshly ground pepper

1 ½ cups whipping cream

1 cup milk

2 egg yolks, slightly beaten

½ cup grated parmesan cheese

8 slices bread (toasted)

16 slices turkey breast, about 1 ½ pounds

2 tomatoes, sliced into 8 slices

¼ cup shredded Gruyere cheese 

16 strips cooked bacon

 

Melt butter in saucepan.  Stir in flour; cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 3 minutes.  Season with salt and pepper.  Add cream and milk; cook over medium heat, stirring, until thick, about 10 minutes.  Stir 3 tablespoons of the hot mixture, a tablespoon at a time, into egg yolks.  Stir egg yolk mixture into saucepan mixture. Stir to combine; remove from heat.  Stir in parmesan cheese.

Heat broiler.  Arrange toasted bread on baking sheet; top with turkey, tomato slices, Gruyere cheese and white sauce.  Broil until sauce bubbles, about 5 minutes.  Remove from broiler and top each with 2 bacon strips.

Picnic tip - if you don't want to risk putting mayonnaise on sandwiches that won't be refrigerated, try hummus!  Seriously, hummus from the deli case is an AWESOME sandwich spread.  I just tried kalamata-artichoke on a ham & swiss sandwich today, and it was amazing.  (We get all kinds of fancy-flavored varieties here because of all the competition, but good ol' generic or homemade is just as nice!)

Love, Columbine

I find that a great sandwich is a whole pita with the hummus to which Columbine is referring, with tomato, lettuce and cucumber.  Easy peasy AND healthy!

I've been eating lettuce sandwiches lately.  I use the good 12 grain bread, fresh, crisp iceburg lettuce, and miracle whip.  Sounds like you'd have to eat 12 to get full, but I find one usually does the trick.  It's surprisingly tasty, too.  Seriously.

I ran out of ketchup once and used my housemate's "spicy" ketchup, and it was 300% better.  Turns out it just had horseradish mixed in, so now I just mix prepared horseradish (not horseradish sauce with all the oil and stuff, just plain prepared horseradish) with ordinary ketchup.  It cuts the sweetness and gives it a whole new flavor.

Love, Columbine

That's not a bad idea. Have you ever tried horseradish mayo? Or pesto mayo? Good stuff.
