Prepare & start the carrot fries
1 Prepare & start the carrot fries

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Line a sheet pan with foil. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel the carrots; quarter lengthwise, then halve crosswise. In a bowl, combine the carrot pieces, all but 1 teaspoon of the spice blend, and 1 teaspoon of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Reserving the bowl, transfer to one side of the sheet pan  and arrange in an even layer. Roast 7 minutes. Leaving the oven on, remove from oven.

Meanwhile, thinly slice the cucumber into rounds; place in a bowl. Add the vinegar. Season with salt and pepper; set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Halve the buns. In a bowl, combine the yogurt, remaining spice blend, and  1 teaspoon of olive oil; season with salt and pepper.

Roast the peppers & carrot fries

In the reserved bowl, combine the peppers and 1 teaspoon of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Carefully transfer to the  other side of the sheet pan of partially roasted carrots and arrange in an even layer. Roast 12 to 14 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven. Reserving the sheet pan, carefully transfer the roasted peppers and carrot fries to a serving dish. Discard the foil.

Meanwhile, in a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the turkey; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes, or until browned. Add the chopped garlic and tomato paste; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes, or until thoroughly combined. Add the barbecue sauce and 1 cup of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring occasionally, 7 to 8 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened and the turkey is cooked through. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

Serve the sandwiches with the roasted peppers and carrot fries and dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
