OK, at the risk of sounding pedestrian, I will tell you what I made the
other night...
My daughters birthday and we asked her (as is the custom here) what she
wanted to eat. Lobster, Steak, Duck? To my surprise she said, "Dad, I
want you to make me some awesome Turkey Clubs (these are not really
clubs, more or less open melts, but that's what she calls them).
So, we went out and got a "loaf" of Turkish bread. It's kind of like a
pizza crust, only the thick part around the edge comes near the center
where it gets real thin, maybe a quarter inch. We also bought a bunch of
fresh veggies at the Turkish Market.
I cut the "loaf" into six pizza slice shaped chunks and proceeded to
split each piece from the point in the center right out to the edge of
the crust so I had two pizza shaped very thin pieces of bread. I heated
up some real butter and placed the pieces bread side down into the hot
butter and held them down for a minute so they would crisp up nice then
I flipped the pieces so the outside crust side was in the butter.
Next I slathered a thin coat of mayo on the crispy side, now facing up
and followed with a sprinkle of saut?ed mushrooms, a few thin slices of
tomato, and a layer of cheese. Next I lay in a bunch of roasted turkey
breast, a very small sprinkle of diced mild pepper and more cheese...
By the time I am done piling up the stuff, It's just time to take it off
the frying pan and into the broiler for about a minute until the edge of
the cheese just turns brown..
These were served open with a tub of turkey gravy on the side. My
daughter calls them clubs because she puts them together like a closed
sandwich.
I make them one at a time and you have to have everything ready. When I
put the sandwich from the pan to the oven, that's when I throw butter in
the pan, and put down another two pieces of bread for the next one.
Throw on the cheese, and take the finished one out of the oven, continue
with the sandwich in the pan...
I know, nothing special.. But my kid loves 'em, that's good enough for
me
