Hoity-Toity Turkey Sandwich

 

Hoity-Toity Turkey Sandwich...so dubbed because my Mom accused me of making a "fancy" sandwich with a couple of extra ingredients. 😂😂😂 (She was kidding, btw.) 😆

I wanted to ramp up the bland turkey, and I'll be dipped! It was even better than I expected. 

So here are the ingredients and the order of layers, so you may capture the same great flavors. (Because we all know that the order of layers on a sandwich definitely makes a difference.)

*Please note that I used homemade Creamy Parmesan dressing (that I made for salad the night before. I'll have to post that on the blog too).

Hoity-Toity Turkey Sandwich Construction Instructions

2 slices of Nature's Own white wheat bread - toasted

Very thin layer of mayo on both sides (maybe a scant teaspoon's worth. I used Duke's).

1 slice of provolone (Sargento regular sized slice, not the thin one. If you have the thin ones, use 2).

2 slices of bland ass oven-roasted turkey (Oscar Meyer frisbee-meat turkey). 

Sprinkle ground black pepper on the turkey.

A layer of lettuce, I used romaine (without the rib).

Sliced Roma tomato for next layer.

S&P (don't overdo it though, use more P than S).

Drizzle with creamy Parmesan dressing, just a tsp. or tsp. & a half. 

Then a layer of fresh avocado slices. 

Top with the other slice of toasted bread and dig in! 

If you make it and like it, let me know...or share your variations. I have one already. Remove turkey=Instant vegetarian! I bet it would be just as good. 😊

Product Review: Wolf Brand Chili Hot Dog Sauce

If you were a fan of the original formula, I can save you some reading. My review for this product? 

DUD.

I used to enjoy this hot dog sauce. It was my favorite canned sauce. Then Wolf discontinued it. I sent them an email expressing my disappointment, and then proceeded to look for a substitute. Nothing suitable surfaced, so I moved on to the kitchen lab. Just testing here and there, hoping for a "breakthrough." 😆 We don't eat a lot of hot dogs or chili dogs, so it wasn't an emergency. But it was still sad when a craving started coming on. 

I happened upon the chili display at a local store the other day, and there it was. It was back! Cautious excitement occurred right away, because the can was now 14 oz. instead of 10 oz. Ingredients seemed a little off. I even wondered if they just stuck regular chili in it and slapped the hot sauce label on just to shut people up. 

I'm old enough to remember the "New Coke" debacle. It was never the same after they brought the "original" back. Same with Taco Bell Enchiritos. Just a shadow of their former selves. 

But...of course we had to try the hot dog sauce. So I gathered the rest of the items for chili dogs. Fingers crossed. 

I popped open the can the next day, and right away I knew this wasn't it. Texture was all wrong. Aroma was off. 

Flavor...NO. It is WAY off. They ditched the original recipe for THIS??!! REALLY???!!! It is so f-----g bland now. 

I checked the ingredients against the old ones. Missing rolled oats. Well, that is not the reason it is so bland. They had to go and monkey around with the rest of the formula too. 

This sucks. It was so nice & spicy previously. And it was well blended. I read complaints about the previous texture from some people, but it was supposed to be chili hot dog SAUCE, not chili. 

Now it is some gray area in between. Edible, but no thrills. Thanks for nothing, Wolf.  (I should really say: Parent Company of Wolf.)

Back to the kitchen drawing board for me...to replicate the original. It will be a priority now. 

I will allow these Mango Forks express my disapproval:

Come on, Wolf. You can do better.
