Creating the Leftover Thanksgiving Sandwich is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your leftover ingredients and have them ready to go.
2. Spread the Sauce: On one slice of bread, spread a layer of cranberry sauce. On the other slice, spread a layer of gravy if using.
3. Layer the Turkey: Place the sliced or shredded turkey on the cranberry sauce side.
4. Add Stuffing: Spoon the leftover stuffing over the turkey, pressing down gently to secure it.
5. Add Cheese: If you’re using cheese, place a slice on top of the stuffing.
6. Top It Off: Close the sandwich with the other slice of bread (gravy side down).
7. Toast or Grill: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a bit of butter or oil if desired. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
8. Slice and Serve: Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately.
With these easy steps, you’ll create a sandwich that’s not only satisfying but also captures the essence of Thanksgiving!
