A big thanks to Foster
Farms for sponsoring this post.
You all know
that I am a big fan of all things veggie. I live for the springtime so I can
plant my garden, and take pictures of the growing goodies like they were my
babies. This year I am going to give fall gardening a shot. I am keeping my
fingers crossed that we will have some yummy fresh broccoli, cabbage, and
squash to nosh on late in the year. There will hopefully be a whole new veggie
family photo array for you to take a gander at.
Once I have
those gorgeous veggies in hand, I don't want to throw them into just any
recipe. I am always looking for ways to really let them shine. For the most
part we really love to grill or roast them. It just adds that little oomph to
the flavor.
So when Foster
Farms asked me
to come up with a sandwich that would complement their new All Natural Sliced
Turkey that has lower sodium, no nitrates/nitrites,
steroids, chemicals or preservatives, and is 98% fat free, I knew I was
going to head straight for the garden for my inspiration. I already had a plan,
in my wee little brain, to make some "hummus" with grilled zucchini.
I have been all about hummus lately and, watching my cute little baby zukes
grow, I knew I somehow had to incorporate them into my hummus addiction.
Soooo let's
recap here foodie folk. Grilled veggies + "zummus" + sliced
turkey. Now, what else? Ok, how about some nice peppery arugula, muenster
cheese (a current fave), and pile it all onto fresh Italian bread. That is a
winner right there, I am tellin' ya!
Now, I had
faith in my choices.
I mean, how
could that not taste good?
What I was not
expecting was exactly how good it would taste.
Hollllllly
smokes people!! I never, I mean evvvvvvver, eat more than half of a sandwich at
one sitting. It is just my thing. But not with this one! No how, no way. I was
eating my whole sandwich and God help anyone that tried to stop me!
Now, are you ready to create your own sandwich masterpiece? Foster Farms is holding a sandwich-making contest to prove that sandwiches made with new Foster Farms All Natural Sliced Turkey lunchmeat are anything but “basic.” The Don’t Call Me Basic contest is looking for the most creative turkey sandwich creation.

ReplyDeleteThanks Renee! I have become soooo addicted to hummus, this is my new fave!!
DeleteI haven't really given hummus a fair chance, it's always hit or miss for me. I will have to try this though, it looks so good.
ReplyDeleteThat is why I like to make my own hummus. I can adjust ingredients to my liking :) I do hope that you give this sandwich a try. I really think you will like it!
DeleteI have never been a fan of peppers despite trying my hardest. The rest of the turkey sandwich with zucchini hummus sounds absolutely amazing! I would totally make this for me and my kiddos.
