Turkey Cubano Sandwich

Leftover turkey grilled with cheese and prosciutto/ham is possibly one of the best ways to use up leftover turkey. Whatever you do don’t skip the Siracha Mayonnaise, dill pickle and pepperoncini. They add so much and the flavors work. Cuban bread is similar to a French loaf, soft on the inside with a soft crust. Gluten Free or a good bread work just fine.

Ingredients

4 TBSP Hellman’s Mayonnaise
2 tsp Sriracha
2 flat buns or 4 slices bread
4 - 6 oz turkey breast meat
2 large slices prosciutto or ham
3 – 4 slices swiss or gouda cheese
4 - 6 pepperoncini sliced
2 large dill pickles sliced

Instructions

Mix mayo and siracha, set aside. It’s easy to use more or less Siracha to suit your taste.
Slice pepperoncini and dill pickles. Blot with paper towel and set aside.
Butter outside of buns.
Spread Siracha Mayo on the inside of both top and bottom of the buns.
Layer with turkey, prosciutto or ham, cheese, pepperoncini and pickles slices.
Use a Panini or make your own by slowly grilling the sandwich while a lid or another smaller, heavy frying pan presses it down.
When cheese is melted and bread or buns browned, cut and serve with salad or fries.

Notes

Surprisingly we have successfully paired this sandwich with a New World Sirah.
