Homemade Turkey Sandwich
An incredibly moist and delicious turkey sandwich featuring custom brined and roasted deli-style turkey breast, a garlic-herb mustard mayo, blistered grape tomatoes, and mild shaved red onions, served on butter-toasted sourdough bread. Chef's tips: (1) Brining is crucial for lean meat like turkey breast to prevent it from drying out during roasting. (2) Chilling the roasted turkey breast completely in the refrigerator before slicing is necessary to achieve thin, deli-style cuts without shredding. (3) Rinsing thinly sliced onions under cold running water removes the sharp, biting taste while retaining their crunch and sweetness.
