Ingredients

Batter

  • 1 Cup Flour
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 3/4 Cup Milk
  • 1/4 Tsp Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar

Sandwich

  • 1/2 lb Leftover Turkey
  • 1/2 lb Leftover Ham
  • 4 slices Drunken Goat Cheese (Swiss or Munster would work great too)
  • 4 Slices of Texas Toast (I just used the kind from the frozen food section)
  • Canola Oil
  • Cranberry Sauce

Instructions

  • Add flour, sugar, salt and baking soda to a medium bowl. Mix together well.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
  • Add the egg and milk mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix together until there are no lumps.
  • Assemble the sandwich. Use the texas toast for the bread. Place a slice of cheese on the bottom piece, then layer the ham and turkey, top with another slice of cheese and the top piece of texas toast.
  • Place a toothpick in each corner of the bread.
  • Dip in the batter.
  • Fry in a deep fryer, or in a cast iron skillet with canola oil. Fry only a few minutes, until golden brown.
  • Slice down the middle, serve with leftover cranberry sauce, and enjoy!
