Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine BBQ spice mix, liquid smoke salt, and brown sugar. Coat the turkey breast with this rub and let it marinate for 20 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 120°C (248°F) and roast the turkey breast for 2.5 to 3 hours until it reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F). Let it rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
  3. While the turkey rests, split open the buns and fry the bacon until crispy. Preheat another oven to 200°C (392°F) and toast the buns on a baking sheet for 5-7 minutes.
  4. Spread mayonnaise on the inside of each bun. Layer fresh lettuce, tomato, sliced turkey, and camembert on the bottom half.
  5. Return the assembled sandwiches to the oven for 2-3 minutes to melt the camembert slightly. Garnish with cranberries and cress before serving.

Notes

Consider marinating the turkey overnight for enhanced flavor. Allow the turkey to rest after roasting for optimal juiciness. Store leftovers separately to maintain freshness.
