Cheesy turkey melt sandwiches

This sounds really good! I bet it would be excellent in a pita pocket, as part of a taco salad, or with rice in a tortilla wrap! What do you think?

PS: sometimes messy means extra delicious - like with sloppy joes or a really juicy burger.

Every year we have tons of turkey left over, and while the dark meat can be used for just about anything, the white meat can be on the dry side a few days later. This recipe is great for using up that dry the white meat and tastes phenom thanks to Picante sauce.

First thing I do, is dump about a half a jar of Pace Picante sauce into a skillet along with some olive oil and let that sizzle for a bit. Next, I take flat sliced pieces of turkey and lay them into the sauce. Turn the heat down and after a few mintues, flip the pieces of turkey.

You'll notice that the sauce will start to reduce and thicken considerably. This is a good thing, since we're making sandwiches with this. As soon as the bubbling turns to more of a hissing in the skillet, turn of the heat. Take a couple of pieces of turkey and lay them on a roll (I like to butter mine first). On top, lay a couple of slices of Jack cheese. Cover the roll and let it sit for a couple of minutes before serving. The final result can be a bit messy depending on how long you let the sauce reduce.

TIP: Be sure to use Picante sauce, and not salsa. I tried it with both, and Picante definitely yield better results. Salsa is a little too chunky to hang onto the meat.
