Turchetti’s Triple P Does Not Disappoint

Named the unanimous winner of the first round and a “porkestra” by the judges on Food Network’s Guy’s Grocery Games, this piled-high homage to the classic Hoosier sandwich at Turchetti’s Salumeria will be tops on your tenderloin list, too. Our rundown of what it’s made from:

• The soft, sesame-seed bun from Leviathan Bakehouse is just sturdy enough to stand up to the complex architecture of owner George Turkette’s towering sandwich.

• Brown sugar and molasses lend strips of Turchetti’s famous bacon a perfectly caramelized chew.

• Deeply smoked house bacon is cooked with tomato paste and chipotle barbecue sauce, to make an addicting spicy-sweet bacon jam. 

•  Not one but two slabs of well-marbled heirloom Berkshire pork get a simple breading of AP flour. 

• More briny than spicy, pickled jalapeños bring a welcome acidic bite. 

•  Melted pepperjack cheese mortars the tenderloins while adding a note of heat. 

•  A thick slathering of Duke’s, Turkette’s go-to mayo, brings the flavors together.
