Preparation

Step 1

FOR THE MAYO: In a food processor add one whole egg plus one egg yolk into the bowl fitted with the blade attachment. Add the lemon juice and Dijon mustard. Turn the processor on and very slowly, pour the grapeseed {or olive oil} in a thin, steady stream.

Next, add in the roughly chopped garlic cloves, chipotle peppers and 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt. Secure the lid and turn the processor on and slowly pour in the two tablespoons of honey.

Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

FOR THE SANDWHICH:

Rub the turkey with a 1/2 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of adobo seasoning.

Preheat your grill to high. Once hot, reduce the temperature to medium-high and place the turkey onto the hot grill grates. Close the lid and grill the turkey for 6-8 minutes. Flip and repeat for 5-6 more minutes or until the turkey is fully cooked. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Butter one side of each slice of bread. Top the non-buttered side with some grated smoked cheddar, sliced turkey, green tomatoes, red onion and smear a generous amount of the chipotle honey mayo on the non-buttered side of the remaining slices.

Place the sandwiches, butter-side-down on to a hot {375 degree} griddle and cook for 5-6 minutes or until the underneath is golden and crispy. Flip and repeat.

Note: The mayo will last for 2-4 days in the fridge so prepare your week with lots of yummy sandwiches or use it dip for homemade fries or onion rings.
