Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Candied Bacon

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lay the bacon slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle brown sugar over the bacon and bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy. Remove from oven and let cool.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread blackberry Chambord jelly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Layer the oven roasted turkey, candied bacon, and Gruyere cheese on two slices of bread. Top with the other two slices, jelly side down.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the assembled sandwiches. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
