Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 small onion, chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
3 cups shredded leftover turkey
-
1 cup corn
-
1/3 cup sliced green olives (optional)
-
2/3 cups tomato sauce
-
6 ounces cream cheese
-
1/2 cup heavy cream
-
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
-
1/3 cup chopped parsley
-
16 Pepperidge Farm Stone Baked Artisan Rolls
-
16 slices smoked gouda cheese (or cheese of your preference)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
-
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onions and garlic until fragrant and translucent.
-
Add the shredded turkey, corn, olives (if using), and tomato sauce. Stir to combine.
-
Stir in the cream cheese and heavy cream, cooking until the mixture is creamy and thickened, about 5 minutes. (It will continue to thicken as it cools.)
-
Season with salt and pepper, add chopped parsley, and remove from heat to cool to room temperature.
-
While the filling cools, cut about 1/4 inch off the extremities of each roll and discard. Pull out the interior crumb to make room for the filling.
-
Once the filling has cooled, carefully insert a slice of cheese into each roll, then spoon the turkey mixture into the rolls, packing it tightly with the creamy turkey filling.
-
Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the sandwiches are bubbly.
-
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley.
Notes
-
You can substitute the smoked gouda cheese with your preferred cheese, such as cheddar or Swiss.
-
If you want extra flavor, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the turkey filling.
