Foodie Friday: Hawaiian sammies

This meal was super easy and quick to do.  It could easily be something you can throw together for a luncheon, party, family get together or picnic because the rolls taste good cold after they are cooked. (I may have snacked on one in the middle of the night....)

1 package of 12 count Hawaiian Sweet rolls

1 onion, minced

1 stick of butter or 1/2 c. margarine

3 tbsp. dijon mustard (I used spicey brown mustard)

2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

3 tsp. poppy seeds

1/2 pound shaved ham

8 slices swiss cheese

Melt the butter in a small skillet and onions.  Combine mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and poppy seeds into butter/onion mix.  Let it simmer for several minutes to thicken a bit.  

Slice your rolls as a group length wise and place the bottom in am aluminum lined 9x13 pan.

Spread 3/4 of the onion mix on the rolls.  layer the ham and then the cheese and top with the top layer of rolls.  Then spread the remaining mixture over top.  Bake covered with foil for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Foodie Friday: Turkey Pesto Sandwich

There is nothing better in my opinion than a good old turkey sandwich for lunch. When you combine that with some avocados and tomatoes it is heaven!!!  I orginally found the recipe for this sandwich on this site. The orginal recipe calls for mozzarella cheese, but I used provolone and I didn't grill my bread, instead I toasted it by putting it in the oven on broil. This sandwich can be made easily with leftover turkey from Thanksgiving dinner or sliced turkey breast lunch meat. Either way is absolutely delicious! Try it out and let me know what you think!

Turkey Pesto Sandwich

• 1 loaf French bread cut into 3-4 equal pieces
• 1/2 cup pesto, homemade or store-bought
• 4-8 oz sliced provolone (orginal recipe calls for mozarella)
• 2 cups chopped turkey or thin sliced turkey
• 2 roma tomatoes, sliced
• 1 avocado, sliced

Directions:

Turn oven on broil, place bread with cheese on one half and turkey on the other half on a cookie sheet. Remove from oven after 3-5 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye on your bread during this time so you don't end up burning it. Bread should be lightly brown and cheese melted. Spread pesto sauce over cheese. Add avocado and sliced tomato on top of turkey. Fold your sandwich down and enjoy!

Yum!!!
