SMOKED TURKEY SANDWICH
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!

Steps:

- Layer on the turkey, tomato slices and basil.
- Top with the remaining bread slice and cut in half.

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.
