I love spicy food. I have to control myself so I am not making every meal with ingredients to give it that extra kick. When I was searching for great lunch recipes to bring on our next camping trip, I stumbled across this toasty chipotle turkey sandwich and knew instantly I needed to make it. Melty cheese, chipotle sauce, and turkey, hold the phone. I’m in.

We usually go camping with a group of people and cooking for a larger sized group can get overwhelming not to mention time consuming. The point of heading out for a weekend is to relax and hang out – not spend hours preparing a meal at the picnic table where there is never enough room. This is an easy lunch solution that allows you to make one large sandwich that can be sliced for everyone to enjoy. With only a few ingredients you can make this right at the campsite or if you’re like me make it all beforehand, wrap it in tin foil and keep it chilled in the cooler.

There is nothing better than cooking right over or on the campfire. This turkey sandwich comes out melty, smoky and oh so delicious. We originally found this recipe on the Land O’ Lakes blog, but they didn’t call for toasting it and in my opinion that is what makes this sandwich so great. Well that and the chipotle flavor.
