Turkey, Bacon, and Pear Winter Sandwich

This sandwich gives new life to leftovers. Our hoagie starts with the basics: a good French baguette and roasted turkey. We love just a little bit of acidity and crunch in our sandwiches, so Keith pickled our leftover brussels sprouts. Then he added sweet pears, crispy bacon, and a bit of cheddar cheese. Keith swears by Bell’s Turkey Seasoning; it was what his mother always used to prepare her holiday turkey. Therefore no turkey goes without it in our house (I am also quite partial to its flavor and its old-fashioned package design). Keith topped our holiday hoagie with a dollop of turkey-seasoned mayo.

As we gear up for a game day, this hoagie makes for a delicious and simple meal. It looks like your run of the mill sandwich, but it packs some seriously complex flavors that will light up any football fan’s face.
