Dining Finds: Tuscan Cafe, Sunrise

October 30, 2008

The menu includes three soups ($3.50) prepared by Huseyin Feroglu, who hails from Turkey. His specialties are lentil, vegetable and a not-too-acidic lemon chicken rice that is so packed with chunks of white meat chicken it's almost a meal in itself.

You can have the soup heated, but it only takes three minutes in the microwave at home. I like to pair my soup with the Palermo Roasted Turkey sandwich ($6.99). It comes on an 8-inch-long hoagie roll that is lightly heated so it takes on a delicate crispness before being smeared with mild pesto. Thin-sliced turkey breast goes on next, followed by fresh mozzarella, roasted red pepper strips and thick-sliced cucumbers for crunch.
