Instructions:

Prepare the Turkey Rub:

In a bowl, combine brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cinnamon, black pepper, ground cumin, and salt. Mix well to create your sweet and savoury rub.

Season and Cook the Turkey:

• Preheat your Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Oven to 163°C (325°F).
• Rub the turkey joint with olive oil, then generously apply the sweet and savoury rub all over it.
• Add wood pellets to the smoker box for a subtle smoky flavour.
• Roast the turkey until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F), which should take about 2.5 to 3 hours.

Make the Waffle Batter:

• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly.
• Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, mixing until just blended.

Cook the Waffles on a Flat Plate:

• Place a flat griddle plate on your Ninja Woodfire Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker.
• Preheat the grill to a medium setting.
• Pour the batter onto the griddle, forming waffle-sized circles. Cook until golden brown on both sides, flipping once.

Prepare the Scrambled Eggs:

• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Melt butter in a pan over low heat. Add the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring continuously, until the eggs are creamy and slightly runny.

Assemble the Sandwich:

• Slice the roasted turkey into thin pieces.
• Start with a waffle as the base, add a slice of cheddar cheese, followed by the warm turkey slices, scrambled eggs, and a tomato slice. Top with another waffle.
• Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with crispy bacon bits.
