Kicked-Up Turkey & Havarti Melt - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
Sandwich Fixings
1 (13 7/8 ounce) can refrigerated classic pizza dough
12 ounces turkey, thin sliced
8 ounces havarti cheese, sliced
Cranberry-Jalapeno Chutney
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup sweet onion, diced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup brown sugar
12 ounces cranberries
1 jalapeno, diced
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon lime juice
Spicy Mayo
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (to taste)
Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F Roll out the pizza crust into a 15 x 10\" rectangle on a baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool. Keep the pan handy.
Meanwhile, make the cranberry jalapeno chutney: heat the vegetable oil in a pot. When heated, add onion, ginger, and garlic, and saute until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
Add brown sugar, cranberries, jalapenos, and water to pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and simmer until the cranberries burst, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
Stir in lime juice and allow chutney to cool.
Prepare the spicy mayo by combining the mayonnaise, chili powder, and cayenne pepper and stirring well.
Put together the sandwiches: Slice the pizza crust into 8 equal rectangles. Spread the spicy mayo on 4 of the rectangles and top with equal portions of the sliced Havarti.
Top the remaining 4 rectangles with 1/4 of the turkey.
Add 3 tablespoons of the cranberry-jalapeno chutney on top of the turkey on each rectangle.
Top each cranberry and turkey rectangle with the cheese-topped rectangle and return the sandwiches to the pan.
Return pan to oven at 375 and bake until cheese has melted, about 2-3 minutes.
Cut each sandwich in half and serve with the remaining chutney. Enjoy!
Bonus: Did you end up with some leftover chutney? It makes a great appetizer when served over a square of cream cheese (adjust amount to how much chutney you have), and set out with crackers.
