Buffalo Turkey Sandwich Recipes

BUFFALO TURKEY SANDWICH

Steps:

• Mix dressing and celery until blended.
• Spread 4 toast slices with dressing mixture; fill with remaining ingredients to make 4 sandwiches.

BUFFALO TURKEY WINGS

Steps:

• For the wings: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange the wings in a single layer on a cooling rack set into a baking sheet. Pat the wings with paper towels until they are very dry, then drizzle with some oil and sprinkle on all sides with salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Add 1 cup water to the bottom of the baking sheet and tent the pan with foil.
• Bake for 1 hour 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the wings are tender, the skin is crispy and brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the wing registers 165 degrees F, about 1 hour more. Let cool for 10 minutes.
• For the blue cheese dip: Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, Maytag, half-and-half, sour cream, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl until well combined. Set aside.
• For the sauce: Melt the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the hot sauce and whisk to combine. Brush the wings all over with the sauce, making sure they are well coated. Serve the wings with the remaining hot sauce, blue cheese dip and carrots and celery.

DINER-STYLE HOT TURKEY SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• For the turkey breasts:
• Arrange a wire rack over a baking sheet. Combine the butter with the herbs. Loosen the skin on the turkey breasts and place the butter between the skin and breast meat, working out to the edges evenly. Place a bay leaf between the skin and meat. Spray the skin with olive oil, and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast to 165 degrees internal temperature, about 1 hour. Remove and cover loosely with foil to cool back to room temp, reserving the drippings for the gravy. Then cover and store for a make-ahead meal, as well as another night's meal, such as the Turkey Club Enchilada Casserole.
• For the stuffing:
• Melt 6 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium heat. Grease a casserole dish with 1 tablespoon of remaining butter, and reserve the rest to dot the top of the stuffing once it is in its casserole dish. To the melted butter, add the herbs, celery, apples, onions, bay leaf and some salt and pepper. Cook to tender, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the stuffing cubes and moisten with the stock until damp, but not wet. Fill the casserole dish and dot the top with butter. Cover and refrigerate to store.
• For the gravy:
• Melt the butter in a large skillet and season liberally with black pepper. Whisk in the flour until light golden in color. Then whisk in the stock and Worcestershire and simmer at low boil to thicken. Add any pan drippings from the roasted turkey breasts. Once the gravy lightly coats the back of a spoon, add a ladle of it to the egg yolk while beating with fork. Then add the yolk back to gravy to gloss it up, stir in. Add the mustard, if using. Add salt to taste. Cool and store.
• To serve:
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the rack in center of oven.
• Bring the stuffing to room temp, then bake until crispy on top and hot through.
• Reheat the gravy over medium heat, partially covered and stirring occasionally.
• While the stuffing is in the oven and the gravy is reheating, heat up an additional couple cups of plain stock in a high-sided skillet. Thinly slice 1 turkey breast, removing the bay leaf when you get to it.
• For each sandwich, very lightly toast a slice of bread and place on a dinner plate. Top the bread with a scoop of stuffing (I use an ice cream scoop). Set a few slices of turkey into broth to heat through. Arrange the turkey slices over the mound of stuffing. Liberally ladle the gravy over the top of the sandwich and garnish with chopped parsley. Save any leftover gravy for another meal, such as the Turkey Club Enchilada Casserole later in the week.

BUFFALO TURKEY BURGERS

Shape into four 1/2-in.-thick patties., In a large nonstick skillet, cook burgers over medium heat 4-6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 165°. , Serve burgers on buns with lettuce, celery, salad dressing and remaining hot sauce. Freeze option: Place patties on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet; cover and freeze until firm. Remove from pan and transfer to an airtight container; return to freezer. To use, cook frozen patties as directed, increasing time as necessary for a thermometer to read 165°.
