Looks like Durkee’s oozing out of this turkey sandwich but it’s really Copycat Durkee’s Famous Sauce.
Copycat Durkee’s Famous Sauce was the runaway winner in our taste test. It is so close in taste and texture to the original that we really can’t tell the difference. We used distilled (white) vinegar because that’s what is on the Durkee’s label, but if you want to get it closer to the yellowish cast of authentic Durkee’s Famous Sauce consider using cider vinegar instead. Makes about 1 ½ c.
½ c cold water
¼ c cornstarch
½ c plus 2 T distilled vineger
2 T Kosher salt
½ c white sugar
1 egg
¼ c French’s prepared mustard
¼ c neutral oil
Texture and thickness same as original Durkee’s: very important.
Method: add all ingredients to a blender or mini-chop. Blend on high speed until cornstarch is fully absorbed and sugar and salt are dissolved, a minute or more. Transfer to top of double boiler and cook over gently boiling water, stirring often for 12 to 15 minutes or until thickened and smooth. Cool before using. I expect this will keep quite a while in the fridge, just like the original.
