With a great spicy dressing and grilled bread, you couldn't dream
of a better sandwich.

- Any remaining sliced turkey breast and chopped dark turkey meat
- 8 slices (1/2 inch thick) Italian or French Bread
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced

- ¾ cup heavy duty mayonnaise
- ¼ cup Creole mustard
- ¼ cup Heinz Hot & Spicy Ketchup
- 1 tsp capers (drained)
- ½ tsp Louisiana Gold Pepper Sauce

- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp minced red bell pepper
- 2 tbsp minced yellow bell pepper
- ¼ cup minced celery
- 1 tbsp finely minced garlic

METHOD:
Remove dark meat from turkey legs and thighs and finely chop. Slice
breast meat against the grain, cover with clear wrap and set aside.
In a mixing bowl combine all dressing ingredients, blend well and
season to taste using salt and pepper. In a separate bowl combine
the chopped leg and thigh meat of turkey with enough of the dressing
mixture to coat well and to your liking. Cover and set aside. Any
