Turkey
Stuffing
Gravy
HOW TO MAKE A LEFTOVER TURKEY SANDWICH MOISTMAKER:
- Place a piece of bread on your serving dish. Smear half of the mayonnaise followed by half of the cranberry sauce on top.
- Add 1 piece of lettuce and half of the sliced turkey.
- Top with half of the leftover stuffing.
- Spread the gravy on to both sides of another slice of bread.
- Top with the remaining turkey, stuffing, and lettuce.
- Smear the remaining mayonnaise and cranberry sauce on the last piece of bread and put it on top of the sandwich. Serve immediately.
CAN I ADD CHEESE TO THIS SANDWICH?
While this is not original to the sandwich itself, cheese is always a great option to add. If you want to add some, I suggest adding: Smoked Gouda, Monterey Jack, or Pepper Jack.
WHAT KIND OF STUFFING IS BEST FOR THIS?
The beauty in this is that you can use whatever leftover stuffing you have made. In the cookbook and in the show they use a cornbread stuffing, we use a basic classic stuffing for this recipe.
HOW DO I MAKE THIS FROM SCRATCH IF I DON’T HAVE LEFTOVERS?
The best way to make this from scratch would be to start with deli-style turkey, canned cranberry sauce, a packet of turkey gravy, and boxed stuffing. This will be enough to make more than one sandwich.
You can then use the lettuce, mayo, and bread that any normal sandwich would have on it. The bread is really up to you on what you like, so many different kinds can be used.
HOW TO STORE:
I do not recommend storing this sandwich and only making it when you are ready to eat it. The gravy-soaked bread in the center will make this soggy.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- Use any of your favorite leftovers on this sandwich.
- This can be made from scratch, see above on how to do that.
- Cheese can be added if you like, I added some of my favorite suggestions above.
- Cold leftovers work for this, just make sure to heat them up beforehand if you’d like, as they are easier to work with.
