Turkey, Swiss & Lingonberry w/Balsamic Glaze
Do you know those Hawaiian Rolls everyone makes with the ham, cheese, Worcestershire sauce & Dijon?
I’ve made them too.
I don’t love ham so thought I’d play around with the recipe a bit.
I also don’t love the idea of a stick and a half of butter poured over my meal.
So I created this one.
And it was a hit…so said my family. :)
I like it for a little change up on the original.
These are not something I make often since we don’t really eat white bread around here.
But they are great for gatherings.
Here’s what you start with….
Prepare the rolls first by cutting the turkey and cheese to fit the rolls.
Then layer the meat and cheese and top with lingonberry jam. (or any you like)
I get this at IKEA (not often, since it is 3 hours drive from me) but you can also try Raspberry Jelly in place of this.
Then place the filled rolls back into the baking dish.
Melt the butter (only 1/2 a stick!), olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard and seasonings.
Spoon it over top of the rolls being sure to get in and around the crevices.
Then bake at 350 for about 15 minutes. I usually bake an additional 5-10 minutes covered in foil to heat through well.
You can do it the other way around too. Bake for 15 with foil, then remove foil and bake 5-10 to brown the tops.
That’s it!
Remove from the oven and serve (and eat! ;) )
Hope you like them as much as we do!

I am not familiar with Ligonberry jam; what is it similar to?
Hey Ellen! :)
Hmm, I’m not sure what I’d say it’s similar too. It’s sort of tart/sweet. Cherry or Raspberry maybe??
The only place I’ve seen it is at IKEA. Which is 3 hours away from me so I don’t get it very often! ;)
I think you may be able to order it online though.
For this sandwich, I would think Raspberry would be very good in place of the Lingonberry if you want to try that.

Oooooh these sound delish! Nancy I made your Curried Quinoa last night and it was delicious and very filling.

Oh my yumminess! This is a a great way to use it! We love these little baked sandwiches too, and this version looks delish!We have lingonberry jam always leftover, we get it to go with swedish meatballs and really don’t know what else to do with it.
Oh, I love it so much!! It’s the best jelly ever. I buy it anytime I go to IKEA. :)
It’s perfect mix of flavors with the Turkey! (I love those swedish meatballs too!)

Nancy, I don’t know what Lingonberry is (in fact, I’ve never even heard of it… but then I’ve lived a sheltered life :) ) but these sounds delicious! Will definitely have to give them a try! Thank you! xo
Lingonberry jam is worth the effort it takes to get. But in a pinch jelled or whole berry cranberries would be a good replacement. My son whipped up Hungarian mushroom soup to accompany these sandwiches. The rich, velvety soup was a perfect complement on Christmas Eve.
Oh yes, that would be a nice change. So glad you liked them! The soup sounds like a great companion to them!
