About the same....a hint of Rosemary. We have used wines other than Marsala so we always name it after the wine. Tonite I actually do have Marsala because last time we had it the wine was simply too damn sweet......and Ohio winery product, Chicken Catawba!!! Karen picked up some Marsala the other day and said the Catawba was over the edge.....I had to agree.

Spaw, that rock will have already been used around here a couple of times. This week it's scrambled eggs. He couldn't get enough of them--up until this week. Now he doesn't want them. He'd eat French toast three times a day if I let him--so if next week he tells me he NEVER EVER liked French toast, well, you know the scenario, right?

Our chicken marsala is a made-up recipe to approximate what we get at Olive Garden. What do you put in yours? (Mine basically is sauteed chicken breast, mushrooms, a sauce made from the drippings and some boullion and cornstarch; some kind of chunky pasta to go under it. The wine flavor is whatever I happen to have in the fridge).

I made the smoked/baked turkey breast last night. So tender and moist, but my 11-year-old son informed me that he doesn't eat turkey unless it is on bread and covered with gravy! We had a good laugh about how this picky eater discovered these sandwiches when I compelled him to try just one bite from my plate a couple of years ago. Another dish he really likes is Chicken Marsala (like they fix at the Olive Garden Restaurant chain). As with the turkey sandwich, he was sure he'd hate it. I had he and his sister each taste one bite of mine and they nearly inhaled the rest of it off of my plate. Same with the turkey sandwiches.

Before I head to work this morning I'm going to set up the bread machine. I'll put in my ingredients for whole wheat bread, and set the timer so it will finish baking at about the time we walk in the house. Both kids inquired about the gravy ingredients last night when I was slicing and refridgerating the rest of the turkey. Yes we have the drippings (I also made a quick batch of stock from the bones and skin and trimmings, before tossing them).

This has been a great thread, and my children are delighted that I decided to act on impulse and pick up a turkey breast yesterday. Prices are going up as we get into this holiday season--I got the last one in the meat market at $1.99 a pound, they're now all $2.49 a pound.

Just found this thread.

Grilled Bacon (not smoked), fried egg (still runny), a few lightly fried and sliced large mushrooms and sliced FRESH tomato, crusty white loaf (the sort that makes "that sound" as the bread knife cuts through it, dont laugh, I cant describe it! Its not as harsh as a saw through wood and not as intimidating as a dog growling in its throat but you know the sound when you hear it, and the bread always tasted lovely!!)

And yes Morticia, thank you for coming out of the "closet" with regard to that pernicious instrument of gastronomic torture, the onion!! I thought I was the only one!!
I have gone through life being sneered at, made fun of, having my dinner money stolen by the "big kids" and generally being "put down" at my resistance to the "Global Onion Conspiracy".
The only good thing to do with an onion is to cut it into VERY tiny pieces, put it in vigorously boiling water for at LEAST 3 days or until all evidence of its existence has long since disappeared to the naked eye. An essential part of this process is that the cook dances round the pot mumbling, "got you you evil little b********" and the CD has to be playing "Another one Bites the Dust" set on "repeat play" for the whole of the cooking period.

At that stage it acquires a subtlety of flavour which is appropriate, (i.e. I cant taste it and it dosnt make me ill for the next 24 hours!) Then and only then, should it be considered as a POSSIBLE addition to things like a stew when cooking for others so that you can honestly say "yes, it has onion in it".

And whilst I am on the subject! I HATE it when I go to every sandwich shop in the known world, reject the mandatory "do you want onion on that" offer, and then have the wonderful subtle flavour of the other ingredients POLUTED BY ONION because the assistant used the same knife which is ALWAYS covered in onion juice from the previous sandwich it was used for!! The onion is PERNICIOUS and all instruments which come into contact with them should be sterilised in an Auto harp after use!!

So there!!!

AND MARY FROM KY......Hi Ftiend......Ya' know I ate those things all over Kentucky and Tennessee and created my own recipe based on the best things from several different places.   It's still the same sandwich, just tweaked to the most richness and taste. When I've given my recipe to people the biggest problem they all seemed to have was making the gravy. Everyone tries to cut back on the fat and skimp on the whole thing. To me, since you don't eat these things but only once or twice year, you just cheat yourself. Also it seems tha gravy making is joining the ranks of "lost arts." BTW, using Maple flavor bacon adds a litle more too, just about to the point of, "My gawd, even I can'y eat this thing!!!"

An ointment that is all the rage for scar treatment (will considerably reduce them, even old scars) is called Mederma. The active ingredient is onion! They've treated it to reduce the scent, but you can still tell when you smell it. My plastic surgeon (who treated a bad cat bite a couple of years ago) said if I ate an onion a day I'd probably get the same effect.

Good god, Spaw, that thing will send you to coronary central in a hurry! (Sounds great, but I would only be able to eat a couple of bites before it was too rich for me! Can you make it with soy cheese?)

I didn't tell you that the turkey breast I use has always been selected to be free of the whatever-percent solution they often inject into poultry (compensating because they presume that we will over cook it and that it needs tons of salt). I smoke it with some nice hickory or mesquite chips in my smoker, usually one pan is enough, for about an hour and a half. I bake it to perfection, keeping all of the drippings, and the nice smoky flavor goes into the gravy. It usually goes atop fresh homemade whole wheat bread.

It may not have tons of layers and be as labor intensive as yours, but with the quality of the ingredients, less is more!

It's an overcast rainy day here in Texas. Time for something warm and filling for dinner. Maybe I'll head over to the store and see if I can't find myself a nice turkey breast to smoke for dinner. Some nice chard from the garden on the side, and baked potatoes. Then tomorrow I'll make a loaf of bread and we'll have the turkey sandwiches. Mmmmmmm. . .

nice open-faced sandwich recipe from the Moosewood cookbook:

Broccoli and Friends
Dice broccoli and onions finely and saute in butter with some salt, pepper, basil and thyme. Cook until broccoli is bright green and onions are translucent. Place on a slice of hearty bread (fresh baked sourdough is nice) and top with grated cheddar cheese, then broil until melted and bubbly. Make at least two.

I guess you could put meat in this but it's very nice as is.

OK Bill D, this one's for you... :-)

Sounds like you know about this bit of "secret cooks business" :-)

I have a friend who says her grandmother had one guaranteed cooking trick.

If she had been busy, and had not had time to have dinner cooked and on the table when the working men returned to the homestead in the evening, she would put just an onion on to fry in a pan, even if absolutely nothing else had been done about starting to prepare other food.

The men would smell the cooking onion, and not hassle her about not having dinner on the table, as they (being smart guys that they were), could tell that dinner was not far off, and would wash up, have a beer, chat about the day's work, and plan tomorrow, etc.

The by the time she called them, they would usually say that they were not ready for dinner yet...

SRS, if your kids like that openface, pathetic thing, they will become orgasmic over Kentucky Hot Brown. Originally I gather it used pullet breasts, but that has been replaced with turkey. The following is my best recipe for making eight at a time in a baking dish.

SPAW'S KENTUCKY HOT BROWN

---You will need enough turkey for eight 2-layer sandwiches, preferably sliced white, although dark slices work well too....a matter of taste.
---Start by cooking one pound or more of bacon in a skillet. Cook soft and don't overcook as you will be baking it later. You need at least 20 strips of bacon
---While the bacon is frying, toast 24 slices of good bread. Use good bread, sourdough is excellent.
---Set aside the bacon strips and now lightly brown the turkey in the bacon grease. Just a bit on the crispy side.
---Set aside the browned turkey and use an appropriate amount of flour, salt, and water to make the grease into a thick gravy. Add a tablespoon of Worcestershire Sauce and a tablespoon or more of Cayenne Pepper Sauce. Add black pepper and garlic powder to taste, about a teaspoon each. Salt to taste.
---As the gravy cooks, add one package of frozen peas.


YOU ARE NOW READY TO ASSEMBLE
---You will need at least 4 cups of a sharp cheddar, shredded. Also cut your bacon strips in half to divide them up.
---Put a thin layer of the gravy on the bottom of the pan.
---Arrange eight slices of toasted bread on the bottom of the pan.
---Now put a bit of gravy on each slice of bread, then sliced turkey on this first layer, followed by a layer of cheese, bacon strips on each sandwich, then a layer of gravy.
---Put the second slice of bread on each sandwich and repeat what you did on the first layer.....a bit of gravy, turkey slices, cheese, bacon strips, gravy ... and then top with the final slices of bread.
---Cover the top slice of bread with gravy, bacon slices, and then a layer of cheese.
---Bake at 375 for about a half hour and then let stand for at least 15 minutes before serving.


SERVE AND EAT !!!!!!!

Now I gotta' tell you that if this ain't the best damn thing to do with leftover turkey, then I don't know what is!!! Don't scrimp on the turkey or any of the other ingredients. The only reason I cook turkey is to make Hot Brown and Turkey Pie. Enjoy!!!

I haven't read the thread for a couple of days so I don't know if this one has been covered, but I must admit my delight the first time I sat and ate a hot turkey sandwich (open face hot turkey with gravy over the top) in front of the kids. They thought it looked "really gross, Mom!" I made each of them take a taste--and I was lucky to get any of the rest of it for myself. I don't make them often, but the room is silent except for knives and forks clinking on the plates when we have them for dinner!

I'd like to point out that all of you are completely fucked up. I have eaten a majority of the delights listed here and some are truly excellent, but as to the BEST sandwich........There can be no doubt. If you have been to New Orleans and not eaten a Muffuletta, than I don't know why you were in New Orleans.

The "Muffy" is the complete sandwich with so many strong flavors that the end result is a true taste treat all it's own and second to none. They aren't cheap to prepare but your friends will think you are the world's greatest short order cook and a creative genius. Let's make one.......First prepare the "Olive Salad" mixture.

Olive Salad:
2/3 cup pitted and coarsely chopped green olives
2/3 cup pitted and coarsely chopped black olives
2/3 cup pearl onions, halved or whole
1/2 cup chopped pimiento
3 garlic cloves, minced fine
1 anchovy fillet, mashed
1 tablespoon capers
1/3 cup finely chopped parsley
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon coarse ground or cracked black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil

Mix the above in a glass bowl. This mixture is the key to the exotic taste.
Now you will need:
1 large loaf fresh Italian bread (round loaf preferred)
1/3 pound hard salami, sliced thin
1/3 pound Cappicola ham, sliced thin
1/3 pound Prosciutto ham, sliced thin
1/3 pound Provolone cheese, sliced thin
1/3 pound Mozzarella cheese, sliced thin
1/3 pound Alpine Lace Swiss, sliced thin
Thin slices of red onion
Thin slices of tomato
Finely chopped lettuce

Time to assemble the sandwich!!!!

Slice bread in half and hollow out both pieces---you have a lot of ingredients! Starting on the lower crust, spoon in a liberal amount of the Olive Salad. Now a layer of the first meat, a layer of the first cheese, a layer of the second meat, a layer of the second cheese, a layer of the third meat, a layer of the third cheese. Now add a layer each of the red onion, lettuce and tomato and reverse the previous process (Cheese 3,meat 3, cheese2, meat 2, cheese 1, meat 1) and top with Olive Salad. Put on the top crust.

Wrap in foil and bake in a 375 oven for 15-20 minutes on each side. Slice and eat.............and enjoy!!!! THere is no better sandwich.

Not a sandwich, but try this Middle Eastern recipe: slice some bananas and dates and smother them in cream. Put them in the frig for a couple of hours until all the flavours combine. Heaven!

Jeri,

Peanut butter - with tomato, or with crispy lettuce (my favourite), or with jam, or with honey, or with......... the choices are endless. After extolling the virtues of "peanut butter with" sandwiches someone once asked me if I hated peanut butter, meaning that I obviously needed to disguise the taste. Still haven't convinced hubby to be adventurous and try peanut butter & lettuce. If there is one thing I do before I die....... He doesn't know what he is missing.

BillD,

Have you been watching over my shoulder as I cook?   "It is 'interesting' struggling with those whose idea of a recipe is to cut up an onion and then see what you have to go with it,,...." By the time the onion has cooked I have had time to ferret out some other ingredients from the pantry, et voila! A meal!

A hot Salt Beef sandwich.
Cheddar cheese and marmalade.

A well made BLT
All on brown bread, bar the bagel of course.

The first thing I had to eat in New York was Hot Pastrami on Rye, something that occurred in many books I'd read of the Mike Hammer school. So I took the subway to Grand Central Station, and turned left outside walked about 100 yards across the first intersection, and found a Deli, went in and ordered. It was really worth waiting for.
