Ingredients
- 8 slices of cuban bread or sliced fresh baked bread. (I used an Asiago Cheese Bead Loaf from my market's bakery.)
- 4 slices of roasted turkey (I used 4 slices of roasted turkey breast and I sliced it about ¼ inch thick)
- 4 slices of roasted ham (I slice these slices at about ¼ inch thick) or 8 slices of deli ham
- 8 slices aged Swiss cheese
- 16 dill pickle slices (as shown in the pictures)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Sandwich Spread Ingredients:
- ½ cup mayonnaise (I used reduced fat olive oil mayonnaise)
- 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- (This makes about 1 cup of sauce)
Recipe Description
Use left over holiday turkey and ham to create a light and tasty meal after all of that heavy eating…. Make these Turkey Cuban Sandwiches! This sandwich has an easy to make homemade deli spread that adds a nice tangy taste to the sandwich. And the cheese in the bread adds additional flavor as well. And after it’s all said and done, you brush the sandwich with melted butter, then cook it in a hot pan or some type of sandwich press to give you a buttery crispy grilled sandwich. (Don’t worry, you don’t have to go out and get a fancy panini press machine. I still use my old George Foreman grill or my cast iron pan to cook these bad boys.)
