Steps:
- For the lemon pepper: Zest the lemon and allow to dry. Mix with the granulated garlic, pepper, salt, sugar and celery seed.
- For the brine: Add 4 cups of the water, salt, sugar and half of the lemon pepper to a saucepan. Bring this mixture to boil over high heat, and then add the remaining water.
- For the turkey breast: When the brine is cool, add the turkey and refrigerate for 3 hours.
- Sprinkle the turkey with the remaining lemon pepper and place in your backyard smoker for approximately 3 hours at 250 degrees F. Use mesquite wood if available. Oak will work as a substitute (if you don't have a smoker you can use your oven).
- Slice the tomato, red onion, dill pickle and pull the leaves off the head of green leaf lettuce (don't forget to wash thoroughly).
- Toast the buns and spread mayo on both sides. Slice the turkey breast thinly and place on the bottom bun. Place leaf lettuce, tomato slices, red onion slices and dill pickle slices (in that order) on the top bun and serve open faced.
SMOKED TURKEY SANDWICH
Steps:
- For the smoked turkey breast: Combine 1 cup spice rub and 2 gallons water in a large container, then add turkey breast to brine. Cover and place in refrigerator overnight.
- Preheat a smoker for cooking at 200 degrees F.
- Remove turkey breast from brine and pat dry. Rub with remaining 1/2 cup spice rub. Place in smoker and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 150 degrees F, about 3 1/2 hours. Remove from smoker and let rest 15 minutes, then slice thin.
- For the cole slaw: Meanwhile, thinly cut both cabbages and put in a medium bowl. Grate the carrot and add to the bowl. Add the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper and mix well.
- For the gorilla berry habanero sauce: Add cranberries, sugar, orange juice, spice rub and habanero to a saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat, about 20 minutes. Break down with an immersion blender.
- For the sandwich: Cut open the rolls. Open and toast, with two slices of cheese on the top halves. When cheese is melted, remove from heat and add about 3 tablespoons Gorilla Berry Habanero Sauce to each roll bottom. Add turkey breast, barbecue sauce and 1/2 cup cole slaw to each. Close sandwiches, then cut in half and enjoy!
SMOKED TURKEY SANDWICHES
These sandwiches are really good - my dh said about them "I usually don't like turkey sandwiches but these are really good". I used some light products when I made these (light mayo and light whole wheat bread) without anyone being the wiser. We served these with fruit salad and pickels for a no-work dinner.

Steps:
- In a large skillet over medium high heat, heat oil and then add in onions, cooking until llight browned, breaking up into rings. (8-10 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in vinegar and salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Chop enough argula to measure 1 cup and place it in a small bowl. Mix in the mayonnaisse, salt and pepper.
- To make sandwiches: spread 1 1/2 tablespoons (I used less) of the argual/mayo over the cut sides of 4 slices of bread. Divide the turkey slices among the 4 bread slilces and then top with the blue cheese, red onion slices and argula leaves and the remaining slices of bread.
