Instructions

  1. 1 Place tortilla on a cutting board. Starting at the center of the tortilla, cut a straight line all the way down to the edge with a knife.
  2. 2 Think of the tortilla as having a total of 4 filling locations, each in its own quarter, like a clock. To assemble, place the ingredients on the tortilla as follows: spread the mayonnaise on the lower left quarter, and top with lettuce and tomatoes. Place ham in the upper left quarter. Layer Cheddar cheese and bacon in the top right corner. Place the turkey in the lower right corner.
  3. 3 Start at the lower left quarter that borders the cut in the tortilla, and fold that filled quarter up and over the top left quarter. Next, fold that same section over the top right corner. Finally, fold that down and over the lower right quarter, ending with a 4-layer triangle. (You'll find a photo on this recipe giving you a visual on how to do the folding.)
  4. 4 Melt butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Place the folded tortilla triangle into the skillet, press down slightly, and cook until it starts to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the tortilla and repeat. Remove from the skillet, cut in half, and serve.

  1. 1 Fill a turkey fryer or large stockpot with enough oil to fry turkey, leaving room for oil to rise when turkey is added. Heat oil to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Layer a large platter with clean paper bags.
  2. 2 Pat turkey dry with paper towels. Rub seasoning inside cavity and outer surfaces. Make sure hole at the neck is open at least 2 inches so oil can flow freely into cavity.
  3. 3 Turn off heat source. Place onion into the drain basket followed by turkey, neck-end first. Slowly lower the basket into the fryer until turkey is completely submerged in oil. Turn on the heat source and cook, maintaining oil temperature at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until no longer pink at bone and juices run clear, about 45 minutes, or 3 1/2 minutes per pound.
  4. 4 Carefully remove the basket from the fryer and drain turkey. An instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh, near bone, should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), but no more than 180 degrees F (80 degrees C). Transfer turkey to the prepared platter to finish draining, 10 to 15 minutes.

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  2. 2 Lay deboned turkey, skin-side down, on the cutting board and even out the meat as much as possible. Slice through the thicker areas of breast meat as needed and rearrange over thinner parts to create an even thickness of meat all over.
  3. 3 Season turkey with salt and black pepper. Press stuffing all over the surface of the meat.
  4. 4 Fold long edges of the turkey around stuffing into the center of the bird and carefully turn turkey seam-side down. Tie the leg-end of the turkey with kitchen twine to cinch the turkey together. Repeat ties at 2-inch intervals along the length of the turkey, ending with a single tie along the length of the turkey. Season with salt and transfer turkey to a large roasting pan.
  5. 5 Roast turkey in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and continue to roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey reads 155 degrees F (68 degrees C), about 1 1/2 hours.
  6. 6 Remove from the oven and transfer turkey to a platter. Remove and discard twine. Let rest until internal temperature increases to 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 20 minutes.
