Turkey Cranberry Open Faced Sandwiches and Corn
1 package thinly sliced deli turkey
Sliced pepper-jack cheese
Jellied Cranberry Sauce
1 small jar Apricot or Peach Jam/Jelly (or something similar)
Hoagie Buns
Preheat the oven or toaster oven to 350 degrees. Mix 1/2 jelly jar and 1/2 can cranberry sauce together in a bowl. Cut the hoagie buns in half lengthwise. On each half, layer with cranberry sauce mixture, sliced turkey, and top with pepper-jack cheese. Place all open faced sandwiches on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil in the oven to warm and melt the cheese - approximately 10 minutes.
Chicken Piccata
This is an awesome recipe from my sister-in-law. Problem is she and I cook more on a dump and taste method rather than measuring so I'm going to be estimating the amounts I used. It's an easy recipe and does not require precise measurements. If the sauce it too lemony add more wine or vice verse if it doesn't have enough lemon flavor.
4 Chicken breasts or 9-10 tenderloins
1 to and 1 and 1/2 cups flour
1/2 t salt
1/4. t pepper
3 T vegetable oil
3 T butter
2 lemons
1 Jar of Capers
1/2 cup white wine or cooking wine (may need more)
Angel Hair Pasta (about 1 package)
Salad and toppings
Heat butter and vegetable oil in a skillet (I like to use my electric skillet for this recipe). Mix flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl or on a plate. Pound chicken thinly and coat chicken in flour mixture. When oil/butter mixture is hot add chicken. Cook chicken thoroughly flipping only a few times during cooking. Remove chicken and keep warm once it's thoroughly cooked. Add white wine and juice of 1 and 1/2 to 2 lemons to skillet. Cook until warmed. Add capers and continue to heat. If you think you may need more sauce add any additional ingredients (butter, lemon juice, and/or white wine). Add chicken back to skillet and coat with sauce. Sauce with thicken while chicken is reheating. Serve chicken on top of pasta with lemon slices on top (for extra fanciness).
While making the chicken cook angel hair pasta according to package directions. Drain and add olive oil to keep noodles from sticking together
