Wichcraft's Roasted Turkey, Avocado, Bacon, Onion Relish, & image

Epicurious says: "Epicurious asked chef Tom Colicchio for this recipe from 'Wichcraft, the sandwich shop in his growing collection of Craft restaurants. It's the perfect way to use up leftover Thanksgiving turkey - and a good excuse to roast a turkey any time of year". Chicken is excellent also. While I'm not the worlds biggest turkey fan this was delicious!

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 yellow onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 egg yolk
1/2 garlic clove, minced (about 1/2 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 ounce white wine vinegar
4 ounces grapeseed oil
1 ounce olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon pepperoncini peppers or 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 lb cooked turkey breast, sliced (use your thanksgiving leftovers!)
4 ciabatta rolls
12 slices bacon
1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Onion Relish:.
  • In heavy medium pot, combine onions and enough water to cover and bring to boil, then strain.
  • Return onions to pot and add sugar, red wine vinegar, and balsamic vinegar.
  • Place over moderate heat and bring to simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until onions are completely tender and have no bite left, about one and a half hours,.
  • (The liquid should be syrupy and coat the onions).
  • Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
  • Aïoli:.
  • In food processor or blender, purée yolk, garlic, mustard, and vinegar until smooth and creamy, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Combine oils, then, with motor running, slowly drizzle into processor until completely emulsified, about 2 minutes, (If aïoli gets too thick, add a small amount of warm water, 1 teaspoon at a time).
  • Sprinkle in salt, pepper, and pepperoncini, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Bacon:.
  • In large, heavy skillet over moderate heat, cook 6 slices bacon, turning occasionally, until crisp, then transfer with tongs to paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Repeat with remaining 6 slices.
  • Set aside.
  • Assemble Sandwiches:.
  • Slice each ciabatta in half and place on large baking sheet.
  • Place 4 ounces turkey on each of four ciabatta bottoms, then spread onion relish over meat.
  • Lay 3 slices bacon on each of 4 ciabatta tops.
  • Transfer baking sheet to oven and toast until bacon is crispy and edges of ciabatta turn light golden brown, about 5 minutes (the turkey does not have to get hot). Remove from oven and transfer bacon to other side of ciabatta, laying on top of onion relish.
  • Divide avocado slices between sandwiches, placing on top of bacon.
  • Spread aïoli evenly across each ciabatta top, close sandwiches, slice each in half, and serve.
