Lemon Pepper Turkey Dip Sandwiches

When I (Daughter) lived in Santa Barbara, one of my favorite comfort foods was the Turkey Dip Sandwich (add pepper jack cheese) from the Brewhouse.  The Brewhouse Turkey Dip inspired this creation.  The lemon pepper makes a really tasty au jus!  A slow cooker makes this recipe easy, and clean up is even easier when you use a crock pot liner (you can usually find these with the aluminum foil in the grocery store.)

Ingredients:
1 (3 pound) pre-cooked turkey breast, cut in half
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup lemon pepper
6-inch whole wheat sandwich rolls
Swiss cheese slices

Directions:
1.  Pour the chicken broth into a slow cooker, then place the turkey breast halves flat side down in the slow cooker.  Sprinkle lemon pepper generously over turkey breast halves.  Cover with lid, cook on high setting for 1 hour.  Reduce to low heat setting and cook for 2-3 more hours.  Remove turkey to platter, reserving cooking liquid (au jus) in slow cooker. 

2.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  Thinly slice turkey, and place on sandwich rolls, topping with cheese.  Leave sandwiches open faced, and place on a baking sheet.  Place top buns top down on baking sheet.  Bake for 5 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and top buns are toasted.  Meanwhile, ladle au jus into ramekins.

3.  Remove sandwiches from oven, slice diagonally, and serve with the au jus.

You'll have plenty of turkey leftover!
