Poultry

Have you ever had a turkey croissandwich on an airplane, or in a country club, or at a catered corporate event? The ones made with mass-produced croissants and stuffed with turkey cut in half? We always want to like them, but they’re always so disappointing. So we came up with one we love. The mustard croissant is very similar to the kimchi croissant in technique, but it is stuffed with meat, cheese, and condiments instead of blue cheese. You can substitute your favorite meat-and-cheese sandwich combo, if you prefer, for the turkey and Swiss.

Ajvar is a red pepper spread found in some European and Middle Eastern grocery stores.

They use deep-fat fryers at the Pirates’ House. If you have one at home, by all means use it.

This casserole can be prepared in advance and refrigerated or frozen. Thaw the frozen casserole in the refrigerator overnight before baking.
