Ingredients

Non-stick cooking spray
1 (3 pound) Butterball® Boneless Breast of Turkey Roast, thawed
2 cloves garlic, peeled, sliced
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 loaves Cuban, French or Italian bread (15 inches long)
¼ cup honey mustard
½ pound smoked ham
½ pound sliced Swiss cheese
12 sandwich-style dill pickle slices

Steps:

Spray cold grate of outdoor gas grill with cooking spray. Prepare grill for medium indirect heat.
Remove turkey from package. Dry with paper towels. Discard gravy packet or refrigerate for another use (within 2 - 3 days). Lift string netting and shift position on roast for easier removal after cooking. Cut small slits, at least 1 inch apart, over entire surface of turkey. Insert 1 garlic slice into each slit. Brush turkey with oil.
Combine cumin, salt and pepper. Sprinkle over turkey.
Place turkey on grill grate over drip pan. Cover grill with lid. Grill 1 1/4 to 1-3/4 hours, or until meat thermometer reaches 170 degrees F when inserted into center of roast. Remove from grill. Let stand 10 minutes.
Remove string netting. Cut half of the turkey into six 1/8-inch-thick slices. Set aside. Refrigerate unsliced turkey for another use.
Cut each bread loaf lengthwise in half. Then, cut each into 3 pieces (for 6 sandwiches). Spread the bottom half of each section with 2 teaspoons mustard. Top with the sliced turkey, ham, cheese and pickles. Cover with tops of bread loaves. Press sandwiches with hands to flatten. Tightly wrap individually in aluminum foil.
Place wrapped sandwiches on grill grate. Top each with heavy iron skillet or brick. Grill 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until heated through.
Serve sandwiches warm, wrapped in aluminum foil.

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise, divided
1 tablespoon hot chili sauce (such as Sriracha)
1/3 cup (packed) finely chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons minced shallot
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1-pound loaf ciabatta bread, ends trimmed, bread cut crosswise into 6 pieces (each about 5x3 inches), each halved horizontally
12 deli slices Swiss cheese
1 pound thinly sliced Black Forest ham

Spread chili mayonnaise over cut sides of bread. Top each bottom half of bread with 1 cheese slice, ham slices, and 1 turkey slice. Sprinkle turkey with salt and pepper. Spoon mint mayonnaise over turkey. Top with remaining cheese and top halves of bread.
Working in batches, melt 2 tablespoons butter in large griddle over medium heat. Add 3 sandwiches; top with piece of foil. Place 13x9x2-inch metal pan atop sandwiches. Fill pan with 6 to 8 pounds of canned goods and cook until bread is golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove pan with weights and foil. Transfer sandwiches to work surface. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in griddle. Turn sandwiches over onto griddle. Replace foil and pan with weights. Continue cooking until cheese melts and sandwiches are golden brown on second side, about 4 minutes. Repeat with remaining butter and sandwiches. Cut in half; serve.

Tips:

Choose the right bread: Cuban bread is the traditional choice for this sandwich, but you can also use a hoagie roll or even sourdough bread.
Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sandwich will be. Look for fresh, flavorful turkey, ham, and Swiss cheese.
Don't skimp on the butter: Butter is what makes a Cuban sandwich so delicious. Be generous with it when you're grilling the sandwich.
Press the sandwich: Pressing the sandwich helps to seal in the flavors and make it easier to eat. You can use a panini press, a grill press, or even a heavy skillet.
Serve with your favorite sides: Cuban sandwiches are typically served with a side of yellow rice and black beans, but you can also serve them with potato chips, fries, or a salad.
