Cornbread Con Pavo

Spicy slow roasted turkey, applewood bacon, monterey jack cheese, and avocado all sandwiched together between home made cornbread. Need I say more?

What you're gonna need:  (this makes 4 sandwiches)

 ¾    cup    Corn meal
1¼   cup    Milk
 1      cup   Flour
1½    tsp    Baking powder 
 ½     tsp    Salt
 1     tbsp   Oregano    
 ⅓     cup   Sugar
 1       -       Egg
 ¼     cup   Oil

  3       -       Turkey breasts
 ¼     tsp     Salt
 ¼     tsp     Pepper
 1      tsp     Chili Powder 
 2     tbsp    Soy Sauce
 ½    cup     Water

 4   slices   Monterey jack cheese
 8   slices   Applewood bacon
 1      -        Avocado 

How to get delicious! :

1)  Pre heat oven to 400º F
2)  In a bowl mix the corn meal and the milk, then set it aside for now. It needs to rest 5 minutes or so
3)  In a separate bowl: Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, oregano and sugar together
4) Once the corn meal is ready, stir in the flour mixture and combine in the egg and oil
5) When everything is well blended, pour into a greased 9x8 pan and bake for 30- 35 minutes

6)  In a roasting pan: mix the salt, pepper, chili powder, soy sauce and water together
7)  Place the turkey breasts in the marinade. Ensure they are well coated
8)  Put aside until the corn bread is done
9)  After the cornbread comes out of the oven reduce the heat to 300º F
10) Put the turkey in right away and cook until tender about 30 minutes

11) When the turkey is done and cooling off, cook the bacon. (It's ok if you make a little extra to eat on it's own. Who wouldn't?!)
12) Pull the cooled turkey apart with 2 forks and toss around in the remaining marinade

13) Once everything is done, construct the sandwich to your little heart's desire! I recommend mashed avocado and monterey jack cheese. They compliment everything so well!

Happy eating
