Sometimes, the best meals aren’t just about the ingredients—they’re about who you cook them with. This hearty Turkey Focaccia Sandwich was a special moment between Big Poppa and his grandson Logan, and the flavor speaks for itself.

It all starts with a juicy, boneless organic turkey breast, rubbed down in Big Poppa Smokers Desert Gold and slowly spun on a Weber rotisserie until golden brown and dripping with a lemon-soy-honey glaze. But the real kicker? It’s all built on freshly baked focaccia bread topped with sea salt, olive oil, and Italian seasoning.

Layered with aioli (a.k.a. fancy mayo), mozzarella, and a splash of Big Poppa’s “magic mango drizzle,” this sandwich brings smoky, savory, and sweet together in one epic bite.

This isn’t your average lunch—it’s a backyard-made masterpiece worth every second.
