Tailgate Like a Pro
Try New Toppings
Smoked sausage and deli meats are
easy to add to a bun for an instant
meal, and there’s plenty of ways
to dress your tailgate menu up or
down based upon the preferences
of your guests. Be sure to keep
some basics on hand for those who
prefer traditional preparation, but
for the more adventurous types, try
out these ideas for toppings that
create a new dimension of flavor.
Grilled onion
Grilled peppers
Grilled, roasted or sauteed
mushrooms
Spicy mustard
Flavored ketchup (think spicy,
fruity or sweet)
Ethnic flavors like curry or
marinara sauce
Hot sauce
Roasted corn relish
Crumbled or shredded cheese
Bacon crumbles
Ham and
Turkey Roll-ups
Cook time: 10 minutes
Servings: 2

4 ounces Eckrich Deli
Oven Roasted Turkey
Breast

4 ounces Eckrich Deli
Black Forest Ham
lettuce leaves

2 tablespoons chunky
guacamole
1/4 cup chopped cucumbers

1 tablespoon shredded
cheddar cheese

2 slices bacon, cooked and
crumbled
Layer turkey and ham slices. Layer
lettuce, guacamole, cucumber,
cheese and bacon crumbles. Roll

Handy Hacks
n Repurpose coffee filters as holders
for your sandwiches. They’re
easy to hold and help keep your
favorite toppings contained.
n Up-cycle an empty six-pack
container into a convenient
cookout caddy to hold napkins,
condiments and utensils. Not only
is it quick to grab and place on the
table, but it helps keep napkins
from blowing away in a breeze.
n For kabobs, keep wooden
skewers from charring by
soaking them in water before
threading on ingredients.
n Prepare toppings the night
before and arrange them in a
disposable foil pan for a quick
and easy DIY topping bar.
