Thanksgiving Leftover Sandwich
This sandwich is not only easy to make, but it’s also a fantastic way to showcase your culinary creativity by using ingredients you already have at home. Think of it as a Thanksgiving remix!
Ingredients:
- 2 slices of your favorite bread (white, whole grain, or sourdough)
- 1 cup leftover turkey, shredded or sliced
- 1/2 cup stuffing
- 1/4 cup cranberry sauce
- 1/4 cup gravy (optional)
- 1 slice of cheese (Swiss or cheddar works well)
- Butter, for toasting the bread
Instructions:
- Start by preheating your skillet or pan over medium heat.
- Butter one side of each slice of bread. This will give your sandwich a lovely golden-brown crust.
- Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, onto the skillet.
- Layer your turkey over the bread, then add the stuffing, followed by a drizzle of gravy (if desired), and a generous spoonful of cranberry sauce. Top it off with a slice of cheese.
- Finally, place the second slice of bread on top, butter-side up.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, ensuring the cheese is melted and everything is warmed through.
- Once it’s cooked to your liking, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Let it rest for a minute, then slice it in half and serve!
