Sandwiches Made In America
Made Great With Turkey


American Heartland Turkey Sandwich, Northwoods Maple & Mustard Turkey Sandwich, West Coast Harvest Herb Saltimbocca Sandwich and Southwest Sweet & Savory Turkey Wrap

West Coast Harvest Herb Saltimbocca Sandwich(Family Features) - Americans' taste buds are as different as all 50 states. And when it comes to navigating kitchen creativity and regional tastes, sandwiches are the perfect road map.

"Sandwiches are little masterpieces between two slices of bread," said Chef Nancy Silverton, owner of Campanile Restaurant in Los Angeles. "They are incredibly satisfying to the taste buds - it's a great way to be creative and savor flavors," she added.

Silverton has created two knockout sandwich recipes featuring new Butterball Deli Thanksgiving Roasted, a premium line of deli turkey breast. Additional tasty recipes are from the test kitchens of Butterball, a brand of ConAgra Foods.

Thanksgiving Roasted looks and tastes like Thanksgiving Day turkey, but can be enjoyed throughout the year. Sliced to order in the deli, it comes in four flavors - American Tradition, Northwoods Maple and Mustard, Southwest Sweet and Savory and Harvest Herb - inspired by people's tastes from coast to coast.
