How To Make The Best Leftover Turkey Sandwich
First, choose the base. To be exact, the bread. Your regular white or whole meal bread is going to taste absolutely delicious in this recipe. However, I want to level up the recipe and opt for sourdough bread.
Butter the bread on both sides and toast them in a fry pan over low heat. I just added an extra layer of dijon mustard to bring in that amazing flavor to the recipe.
This sandwich is totally customizable which means you can add your favorite leftovers to create the best version of your favorite turkey sandwich. I have opted for mashed sweet potatoes, sliced roast turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce and a few rocket leaves for that crisp freshness. Trust me, it’s absolutely delicious.
Such an amazing way to recreate your favorite and the best leftover turkey sandwich.
