This is for the Sandwiches, Sammiches and Sammies group ... and I am not very good at impromptu recipe creations, I know that! Y'all might be asking me to leave the group after this! LOL! I decided to make a little h'ors d'oeuvre, a canape, out of the recipe. Here goes! I don't have a photo ... I'm running out the door to a double-header softball game, and trying to get this posted before I go. I'll try to get a photo another time.

Ingredients

  • 1 - tube pillsbury french loaf (in refrigerated biscuit section)
  • 3/4 cup finely diced celery, divided usage
  • 1 cup low fat mayonnaise (i use the olive oil mayo)
  • 1/3 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green scallion
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1 pinch dill mix seasoning
  • 1 small head of broccoli crowns
  • 1/2 pound oven roasted turkey breast sliced thick
  • 1/2 pound provolone cheese, sliced thick
  • 1 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
  • - s & p, to taste

How To Make broccoli canapes

  • Step 1
    Bake the bread loaf, according to package instructions. I use a bread tube, but you can bake it on a baking sheet.
  • Step 2
    When the bread is cooled, cut into 20 equal slices, on the diagonal, to make a longer/larger cut. Lay out on two baking sheets.
  • Step 3
    Mix together a half cup of the celery (save the other 1/4 cup for later); mayo; parmesan cheese; scallion; cayenne; and dill mix seasoning. Stir well; set aside for assembly later.
  • Step 4
    Place the small crown of broccoli in your steamer. Steam it ONLY for a few minutes, just until it reaches a gorgeous, bright, emerald green color. It should still be tender-crisp, but not have a definite hard CRUNCH to it. Don't overcook! It only takes a few minutes, literally! After it has steamed for just a few minutes, take it away from the heat and run it under very cold water, to stop the cooking process. Cool it until you can handle it w/ your hands easily.
  • Step 5
    After the broccoli has cooled sufficiently, slice it VERTICALLY into 1/4" slices ... it will look like slices of a brain. Sorry! :o/ Set aside for assembly later.
  • Step 6
    On the bread slices, arrange a small piece of the turkey and a small piece of the cheese (You might have to cut and shape it, depending on how your deli slices it. But it should be thick, on a #2, as I tell the deli lady).
  • Step 7
    Place the canapes under the broiler, just until the cheese is melty and bubbly. Remove from the broiler.
  • Step 8
    On top of the melted cheese, place one of the broccoli slices, then put a small dollop of cranberry sauce and spread it slightly, then a dollop of the seasoned mayo mixture.
  • Step 9
    Use the remainder of the finely diced celery to garnish the tops of the mayo mixture (if you don't want to use celery, you could dice some chives).
  • Step 10
    Place on a pretty platter and serve right away!
