Thanksgiving Leftovers Sandwich
Transform your Thanksgiving leftovers into a mouthwatering sandwich to gobble up. This generously packed turkey sandwich is anything but boring!
Servings: 2
Equipment
- Skillet Large, or a Toaster
Ingredients
- 4 Slices sourdough bread
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 6 Slices turkey leftovers, thick slices
- 4 Slices Swiss cheese
- 1 Cup salad greens any kind
- 4 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1½ Cups stuffing
- 1 Cup gravy warmed up
- 1 Cup whole cranberry sauce
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over a medium heat and swirl to coat the skillet.
- Add some of the bread slices in one layer and toast on both sides until golden brown.
- Repeat with the rest of the bread slices.
- While the bread toasts, warm up the turkey in the microwave, 30 to 60 seconds.
- Spread mustard over half the bread slices.
- Add turkey, cheese and stuffing.
- Pour over some warm gravy and top with salad leaves and cranberry sauce.
- Add another slice of bread and press down gently.
- Secure with toothpicks or bamboo skewers if liked.
- Serve with more warmed turkey gravy on the side, and perhaps some chips or potato salad.
Notes
Use thick bread slices: Thin slices of bread disintegrate too easily with the gravy in leftover sandwiches, so use thick slices which are more sturdy.
Toasting the bread: You don't have to toast the bread but, if you want to, you can use a toaster instead of a skillet (it's faster if you have a 6-slice toaster!)
Warming up the sliced turkey: Don't microwave the turkey for too long, otherwise the meat might dry out and become chewy.
Don't forget utensils and napkins: This is the best Thanksgiving sandwich but you do need to serve it with silverware and napkins, as the gravy, cranberry sauce and stuffing can make it messy to eat.
