Directions

Making the Warm Glazed Turkey Meat:

  1. In a medium sauce pan, warm the leftover turkey, 2 tablespoons Tony’s 30-Minute Chicken Marinade, hoisin sauce and gravy.
  2. Stir often until the meat is glazed and warmed through.

Making the Cranberry Mayonnaise:

  1. Mix together mayonnaise, cranberry sauce, 1 tablespoon Tony’s 30-Minute Chicken Marinade and Tony’s Original Creole Seasoning.
  2. Set aside.

Making the Pickled Carrots:

  1. Heat together the rice wine vinegar, water and sugar until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Pour the warm mixture over the carrots and let sit for at least 30 minutes, but it’s better if it sits overnight.

Making the Sandwich:

  1. Slice open the bread down one side without going all the way through. Then warm it in a 200°F oven until crispy, about 4 minutes.
  2. Once crispy, slather the inside of the bread with the Cranberry Mayonnaise.
  3. On the bottom side of the bread, place the Warm Glazed Turkey.
  4. On the top side, layer the cilantro, mint, jalapeño, cucumber and Pickled Carrots.
  5. Press the two sides together and serve warm!
