Roasted Turkey Sandwiches of Awesome

By -

Yep, you bet I made that title up all by myself. I don’t know the official title because I had these at my cousin’s house when we did our monthly cousin dinner. Anyway, the picture looks crappy because I was famished and tired and in a hurry. But, I like these a lot. I give them an 8.5, but keep in mind that I love sandwiches. Also, some of the ingredients may look gross, but they come together really well.

Roasted Turkey Sandwiches of Awesome

1/2 cup coarsely chopped olives

1/2 tsp. chili powder

1/2 tsp. ground cumin

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 cup mayo

1/2 cup sour cream (I used light)

1/2 cup sliced green onions (2 bunches)

4 large slices of artisan bread (I used ciabatta rolls, cut in half)

1 large tomato

2 avocados, sliced

3/4 cup shredded cheddar

3/4 cup monterey jack

1 lb. thinly sliced deli smoked turkey (I just bought a nitrite-free deli turkey from Costco, and it was really good. We didn’t use anywhere near a pound though)

Preheat oven to 350. Combine olives, chili powder, cumin and salt in a medium bowl. Reserve 2 Tbs. of this mixture. Stir in mayo, sour cream, and onions into the remaining olives. Spread half of this mixture on the bread slices. Top with tomato, then, turkey, then the rest of the mixture, then avocado, and then cheese. Place on a baking sheet and bake until cheese is melted, and then sprinkle the reserved olives on top.

Sourdough, version 4, aka version Mel

By -

This is my personal favorite.—it is a combination of the sourdough recipe from Nancy Beykirch with the Tartine method. It is sour but the texture is also great. Leaven: 1/2 cup sourdough starter 1/2 cup water 2/3 cups bread flour Combine ingredients and let sit 12 hours. Then, combine the leaven (mine was about 290 grams) 860 grams white flour 100 grams wheat flour 700 grams water 22 grams salt You mix this then let it sit for 40 minutes. Then, you put it in a big bowl and let it rise for 5 hours. For the first 2-3 hours, turn in every 30 minutes where you pull the dough to the opposite side, rotate the bowl by 4ths, do the same thing. Then, you put it on a floured surface. This dough is sticky, so you might need a good deal of flour. divide and shape into 2 loaves, then let sit 30 minutes. Then, kind of reshape them and put them in a pot. Let them rise for 3 hours. Then, score them. Bake at 425 for 20 minutes, then lid off the dutch oven for the final 20 minutes.

Grandma Goodsell's Whole Wheat Bread

  So, my Grandma Goodsell is the one who instilled a love of bread making in me. I owe a lot to her guidance when I was a kid. We finally tracked down her recipe after we thought it was lost all those years ago, and I made it yesterday. I give it a 9, but that’s probably a lot of nostalgia. Either way, it is a very, very solid bread recipe. I put my changes below in bold. Grandma Goodsell's Whole Wheat Bread Mix 2 ½ T yeast and 1 T sugar in 1 C water, and let set for 10 minutes. I used instant yeast, so I decreased this to 5 tsp. of yeast 3 C milk 2 C water ½ C honey ½ C shortening 2 T salt 2 T molasses 5 ½ C whole wheat flour 7 ½ C white flour I also added 2 heaping spoonfuls of wheat gluten Combine milk, honey, shortening, salt, and molasses in a saucepan and heat until shortening melts. Stir in 2 Cups cold water and combine with yeast mixture. Pour mixture into mixing bowl and add flours one cup at a time alternating between white and wheat (1 C white, 1 C wheat, 1 C white, ...

Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs

Oh, how I love me a pressure cooker that cuts down on dishes and produces the exact same results. This is good because it's pasta and meatballs. I would have to really be coerced to make it any other way again because this is just SO easy. My one complaint is that it was very rich in tomato flavor because it calls for twice as much sauce as when I make it the traditional way. I think I might increase the water and use less sauce next time. Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meatballs 1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey I just did my own meatballs already premade 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves garlic, finely minced) I just did my own meatballs already premade Salt and pepper 16 ounces uncooked spaghetti noodles (see note) I think our spaghetti is almost 18 oz 1 teaspoon dried basil I used fresh 40 ounces jarred spaghetti/marinara sauce (see note) I did 2 Trader Joe's vodka sauces that are 25 oz. each 3 1/2 cups water Freshly grated Parmesan and ...
