- 1 full loaf of bread (we prefer a Hawaiian Bread or Sourdough)
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 2 -3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 - 10 oz turkey, chopped
- 2 cups cheese, shredded
- 3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 green onion, sliced
- Preheat oven to 400º F.
- Use a serrated bread knife to cut the bread in one direction being careful to avoid cutting through the bottom crust.
- Turn and cut the opposite direction and create a crosshatched pattern in the bread.
- Combine the butter and garlic and pour over the cut bread loaf, using your fingers to open the bread slightly so that the butter drips into the cut sections.
- Mix the bacon, cheese and turkey then gently push the filling into the bread openings.
- Sprinkle with the green onion.
- Wrap the whole loaf in aluminum foil and bake in a 400º F oven for 15 minutes
- Pull the foil back to expose the loaf and bake an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve with ranch or your favorite dipping sauce.
