INGREDIENTS

  • Turkey Roast

    • 🦃 1 (3 pound) Butterball boneless breast of turkey roast, thawed
    • 🧄 2 cloves garlic, sliced
    • 1 tablespoon canola oil
    • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
    • 🧂 2 teaspoons salt
    • 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

  • Sandwich Ingredients

    • 🍞 2 loaves Cuban, French, or Italian bread (15-inches long)
    • ¼ cup honey mustard
    • 8 ounces smoked ham
    • 🧀 8 ounces sliced Swiss cheese
    • 12 sandwich-style dill pickle slices

STEPS

1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly coat the cold grate with cooking spray. Arrange a drip pan on the grill.

2

Pat turkey dry with paper towels; discard gravy packet. Cut small slits over the entire turkey surface and insert garlic slices. Brush with oil.

3

Combine cumin, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle over turkey.

4

Place turkey over the drip pan on the grill. Cook covered for 1 ¼ to 1 ¾ hours or until an instant-read thermometer reads 170°F (77°C).

5

Remove turkey from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. Remove string netting and cut half into six ⅛-inch-thick slices. Refrigerate the unsliced portion for another use.

6

Halve bread loaves lengthwise and then cut each into 3 pieces for 6 sandwiches. Spread 2 teaspoons honey mustard on each bread bottom. Layer turkey slices, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and the top half of the bread.

7

Flatten the sandwiches with hands, tightly wrap each in aluminum foil, and grill. Weight sandwiches with an iron skillet or brick and cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side until heated through.

8

Serve sandwiches warm, wrapped in foil.
