Turkey Sandwich with Zucchini Hummus and Grilled Peppers

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!
