Sandwichs

Sliced Turkey Leg Meat

Savory Cranberry Chutney 

Sourdough Bread

Brie 

Gouda

Vegetable Oil or Butter

-Preheat griddle

-Cut cheeses into slices

-Butter the griddle and a slice of bread per sandwich, warm to lightly toast the bread

-Remove the bread from the griddle, add and pre heat vegetable oil to griddle

-Add cheese to the toasted side to start warming/melting it 

-Add bread with cheese to griddle and over with a pot lid to trap heat and melt melt cheese

-Press the turkey slices into the melted cheese to help hold it in place, add a generous amount of chutney on top of the turkey

-Top with the other slice of bread and flip to toast other side.


Roasted Brussels Sprouts

1lb of brussels sprouts

1 Lemon

Salt

Black Pepper

Pomegranate Seeds

-Cut off the ends of the brussels sprouts and cut in half

-Zest the lemon and cut in half and juice one half into the saved turkey leg drippings

-Add brussels sprouts, zest, salt, and pepper to the juice and dripping mixture and mix to coast the sprouts

-Spread brussels sprouts over baking sheet cut side down

-Bake for 30 minutes or till tender

-Separate the pomegranate's seeds 

-Sprinkle pomegranate seeds over the brussels sprouts



Final Notes:

-Needed a lot of chutney or else the brie was the most propionate flavor

-Roasting your own sandwich meat was SO much better than deli meat, it being juicy dark meat probably helped too

-Loved the brussels sprouts recipe, but will try pan frying shaved sprouts next time so that it's easier to eat with the seeds, more like a salad.
