1 turkey breast (1 ½ -2 lbs/700-900 g), bone-in, skin-on
Marinade:
¼ cup (60 mL) liquid honey
2 Tbsp (30 mL) dark soy sauce
2 Tbsp (30 mL) rice wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 Tbsp (15 mL) sesame oil
Sandwich:
2 demi baguettes
2 cups (500 mL) broccoli slaw
3 Tbsp (45 mL) vegetable oil
2 Tbsp (30 mL) rice wine vinegar
1 Tbsp (15 mL) granulated sugar
¼ cup (60 mL) mayonnaise
2 Tbsp (30 mL) fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tsp (5 mL) fresh lime juice
½ tsp (2 mL) dried chili flakes
Directions
Turkey breast:
Mix all marinade ingredients together and place in a resealable bag.
Add turkey breast and marinate overnight or no less than one hour.
Preheat oven to 400ºF (205ºC).
Place marinated turkey breast in a shallow baking dish and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until a digital meat thermometer inserted deep into the meat away from bone, registers 165ºF (74ºC). Remove from oven and let cool before slicing.
Sandwich:
Cut baguettes in half lengthwise.
Mix broccoli slaw with oil, vinegar and sugar and set aside.
Mix mayonnaise with cilantro, lime juice and chili flakes.
Spread both sides of baguette evenly with cilantro mayo.
Top one side of the baguette with sliced turkey and broccoli slaw, then place the other side on top and cut in half.

Matching the coriander in the beer to the cilantro in the sandwich is the key. The beer also reduces the impact of the soy sauce.
