The Quintessential “Thanksgiving Leftovers” Oven-baked, Open-face Sandwiches
Serves: 6
By far the easiest thing to do with leftover turkey is indeed one of the favorites. My grandmother would cook a small turkey several times a year just so my grandfather could have these sandwiches year-round!
Ingredients
PreparationIngredients
- 6 slices of hearty whole grain bread Add to list
- Honey mustard, to taste Add to list
- Slices and pieces of leftover turkey (about 2 cups) Add to list
- 1 cup or so leftover gravy Add to list
- 1 cup or so leftover mashed potatoes, yams or stuffing (or all 3!) Add to list
- Thinly sliced red onion (optional) Add to list
- 1 to 2 cups shredded white cheddar Add to list
- Cranberry sauce Add to list
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375° F.
Toast the bread and spread each slice with a little honey mustard. Toss the turkey together with the gravy and pile it on the bread. Top with the potatoes, yams or stuffing (or all 3!) and a few rings of red onion if you choose.
Arrange the piled-up, open-face sandwiches in a baking pan, with the edges touching, and sprinkle the cheese over the whole thing.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until hot through and bubbly. Cut apart and serve with cranberry sauce and a knife and fork.
