Steps:

• For each turkey roll, lay out 2 turkey slices, overlapping ends by 2 to 3 inches. Add a ham slice, centered on turkey slices. Place 2 cheese slices on top, with ends barely touching. Roll up, starting on one short side. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 8 rolls. Dip rolls into water to dampen, and coat in bread crumbs, reserving 1/4 cup bread crumbs for topping. Place rolls, seam side down, in a greased 13 by 9 inch baking pan. Sprinkle reserved crumbs on top. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes until lightly golden and cheese is melted.

STORM'S CORDON BLEU BURGER

Steps:

• You'll need a sharp knife, a sturdy metal burger turner and 2 large, heavy skillets (well-seasoned cast iron works very well; Teflon will not work.)
• Preheat the first skillet over medium-high heat. The second skillet should be preheated to be slightly less hot. Smear the inside of the second skillet with a thin coat of butter. When the first skillet is hot enough to instantly sizzle a small test piece of burger, place the 4 patties inside. Set the buns, crust side up, in the second skillet. Wait 30 seconds or so, then turn the patties and press them down so they spread a bit and stick to the skillet surface. Wait 2 minutes, then remove the lower halves of the buns and coat the toasted surface with mayonnaise. Add 2 slices of tomato and then cover tomato with sliced lettuce. Set aside. When the patties are almost done to your taste, turn them a second time, let them cook a few more seconds until you think they're just right, then remove from the pan.
• You're through cooking. Next step is to assemble the whole thing. Place 1 beef patty on top the dressed lower half of the hamburger bun. Then stack in this order: 1 slice of ham, 1 slice of cheese, a second slice of ham, a second beef patty, and finally the top half of the hamburger bun.
• In a few seconds, the heat from the hamburger patties should melt the cheese and weld the entire assembly into 1/2 pound of heaven on a bun.
• Serving suggestion: French fried potatoes.
