Cheesy Smokey Turkey Baguette With A Pear Apple Slaw

Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 1 baguette (cut in half lengthwise)
• 1 cup honey barbecue sauce
• 1 teaspoon chipotle chile in adobo, fine chopped
• 1 lb oven roasted smoked turkey
• 10 slices havarti cheese (muenster or any good melting cheese would also be a good choice)
• 1 large onion (cut in half and thin sliced)
• 2 cups coleslaw (store bought)
• 1 teaspoon mayonnaise (you can add more if you like it creamier)
• 1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar
• salt
• pepper
• 1 granny smith apple, small chopped
• 1 bosc pear, small chopped

Recipe

• 1 coleslaw -- mix the premade shredded slaw with the apple, pear, mayo, vinegar, salt and pepper in a small bowl and set to the side. if you like it creamier you can add mayo. but as it sits it will get a bit more watery so don't add to much. you want this to be a crisp coleslaw, not too creamy.
• 2 onions -- i just add them to a small bowl and put them covered with plastic wrap in the micro for 1 minute. i just want to soften them up a bit is all.
• 3 baguette -- after cutting it in half lengthwise, i scoop out a little of the inside bread to make room for the sandwich. then i toast under the broiler for just a few minutes. i like to toast the inside so when i add the dressing the sandwich doesn't get soggy.
• 4 bbq sauce -- just mix the honey bbq sauce with the chipolte diced fine. you can add more if you like it a bit spicy. i add more, but i really like spice. please add according to taste.
• 5 sandwich time -- add the bbq spread on both insides of the bread. then on the bottom half top with 4 slices of the cheese, then a few onion slices. next the turkey, then the coleslaw, more onions and cheese and finish with the top bread slice.
• 6 bake -- wrap up in foil and then bake 350 for about 15 minutes until the cheese melts. i flip it over half way through just so both sides get equal heat and the cheese melts all the way through. just enjoy!
