Football food, Fall BBQ, Family Dinner, Dinner Party, Potluck ... just about anything. This combines a sweet and spicy BBQ sauce, Fall fruit coleslaw, savory turkey and creamy munster cheese all on a crispy toasted baguette. Ingredients:
1 baguette (cut in half lengthwise) |
1 cup honey barbecue sauce |
1 teaspoon chipotle chile in adobo, fine chopped |
1 lb oven roasted smoked turkey |
10 slices havarti cheese (muenster or any good melting white cheese would also be a good choice) |
1 large onion (cut in half and thin sliced) |
2 cups coleslaw (store bought) |
1 teaspoon mayonnaise (you can add more if you like it creamier) |
1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar |
salt |
pepper |
1 granny smith apple, small chopped |
1 bosc pear, small chopped |
Directions:
1. Coleslaw - Mix the premade shredded slaw with the apple, pear, mayo, vinegar, salt and pepper in a small bowl and set to the side. If you like it creamier you can add mayo. But as it sits it will get a bit more watery so don't add to much. You want this to be a crisp coleslaw, not too creamy.
2. Onions - I just add them to a small bowl and put them covered with plastic wrap in the micro for 1 minute. I just want to soften them up a bit is all.
3. Baguette - After cutting it in half lengthwise, I scoop out a little of the inside bread to make room for the sandwich. Then I toast under the broiler for just a few minutes. I like to toast the inside so when I add the dressing the sandwich doesn't get soggy.
4. BBQ Sauce - Just mix the honey BBQ Sauce with the chipolte diced fine. You can add more if you like it a bit spicy. I add more, but I really like spice. Please add according to taste.
5. Sandwich Time - Add the BBQ spread on both insides of the bread. Then on the bottom half top with 4 slices of the cheese, then a few onion slices. Next the turkey, then the coleslaw, more onions and cheese and finish with the top bread slice.
6. Bake - Wrap up in foil and then bake 350 for about 15 minutes until the cheese melts. I flip it over half way through just so both sides get equal heat and the cheese melts all the way through. Just ENJOY!
