Hot turkey sandwich. The easiest way to prepare leftover turkey, as an open-faced sandwich, topped with leftover turkey and gravy.
BE PICTURED IN; CHARACTERIZED IN:
For as long as I can remember, my parents have prepared a giant turkey (18-20 pounds or more) for our family on Thanksgiving Day every year.
You would think that the last thing any of us would want the day after turkey day was more turkey.
But I think on Thanksgiving Day itself, the turkey on the plate can almost take a backseat. There are just so many sites to choose from.
But the next day? It’s all about the turkey. And the sauce. The bread is there so you can call it a sandwich and eat it for lunch.
This is really not a recipe, but a tradition in our family. But if you’ve never made hot turkey sandwiches with your leftover turkey and gravy, here’s how. It’s as simple as it seems.
