Leftover Ham Sheet Pan Cubanos

Leftover holiday ham and turkey come together in this reinvented Cuban classic. Marinated in an easy-to-make mojo, turkey replaces the traditional roast pork, but pairs perfectly with sweet ham, Swiss cheese, tangy pickles, and zesty mustard. Bake a batch on a sheet pan for an instant party hit!

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Make the mojo turkey: Add the turkey, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, salt, and oregano to a large bowl. Toss well, then set aside.
  3. Split the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise and spread 1½ teaspoons of mustard over each roll.
  4. On the bottom half of each roll, layer 2 slices of ham, ¼ of the mojo turkey, 2 slices of Swiss cheese, and 4 dill pickle chips.
  5. Bring the sandwiches together and set on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush the top and bottom of each roll with the melted butter.
  6. Place another baking sheet on top of the sandwiches and put a cast iron skillet or other heavy pan on top to compress the sandwiches.
  7. Transfer to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, until the exterior of the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
  8. Enjoy!
