Time 12h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 cups barbecue spice rub
One 3- to 4-pound boneless turkey breast
1/2 head green cabbage
1/4 head red cabbage
1 medium carrot
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cup fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon barbecue spice rub
1 1/2 habanero chiles, finely chopped
Four 6-inch deli rolls
8 slices Swiss cheese
Barbecue sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • For the smoked turkey breast: Combine 1 cup spice rub and 2 gallons water in a large container, then add turkey breast to brine. Cover and place in refrigerator overnight.
  • Preheat a smoker for cooking at 200 degrees F.
  • Remove turkey breast from brine and pat dry. Rub with remaining 1/2 cup spice rub. Place in smoker and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 150 degrees F, about 3 1/2 hours. Remove from smoker and let rest 15 minutes, then slice thin.
  • For the cole slaw: Meanwhile, thinly cut both cabbages and put in a medium bowl. Grate the carrot and add to the bowl. Add the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper and mix well.
  • For the gorilla berry habanero sauce: Add cranberries, sugar, orange juice, spice rub and habanero to a saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat, about 20 minutes. Break down with an immersion blender.
  • For the sandwich: Cut open the rolls. Open and toast, with two slices of cheese on the top halves. When cheese is melted, remove from heat and add about 3 tablespoons Gorilla Berry Habanero Sauce to each roll bottom. Add turkey breast, barbecue sauce and 1/2 cup cole slaw to each. Close sandwiches, then cut in half and enjoy!

Time 2m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 slices country bread
1 teaspoon mayonnaise
3 1/2 ounces thinly sliced smoked turkey
1/2 ripe jersey tomatoes, sliced thin
3 large fresh basil leaves
dill pickle slices

Steps:

  • Spread one slice of the bread with a teaspoon of mayonnaise.
  • Layer on the turkey, tomato slices and basil.
  • Top with the remaining bread slice and cut in half.
  • Garnish with pickles.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turkey: Look for a fresh or thawed turkey breast that is between 6 and 8 pounds. A larger turkey will take longer to smoke and may not fit in your smoker.
  • Prepare the turkey: Remove the giblets and neck from the turkey cavity. Rinse the turkey inside and out with cold water and pat dry.
  • Season the turkey: Rub the turkey all over with your favorite BBQ rub or seasoning blend. You can also inject the turkey with a flavorful brine or marinade.
  • Smoke the turkey: Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the turkey breast on the smoker grates and cook for 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the turkey rest: Once the turkey is cooked, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
  • Assemble the sandwich: Pile the smoked turkey on a toasted bun and top with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include lettuce, tomato, avocado, bacon, and cheese.

Conclusion:

The smoked turkey sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can create a sandwich that is sure to impress your friends and family.
