Happy Turkey Day darling blog readers! On this beautiful Monday evening most of you are probably anxiously awaiting a tasty Thanksgiving dinner - your houses probably smell fantastic, your mouths are probably salivating. However, given that my Thanksgiving dinner was last night, I am enjoying arguably the best part of this delicious holiday - leftovers!
This post is less of a recipe and more of a Jo-Thanksgiving-Tradition: the Leftover Turkey Sandwich. Thanksgiving on a piece of bread. Heaven on a plate. Whatever.. it's awesome. I'm sure many of you have your own renditions of this post-Thanksgiving treat, and I wanted to share mine with all you lovely people! (If you haven't tried this before do it now! or an hour and a half after dinner tonight... or as midnight snack, or as breakfast, or lunch, or dinner tomorrow).
The Recipe:
Slice of Rye bread
Turkey bits
Mashed Potatoes
Mashed Turnips
Cranberry Sauce
Turkey Gravy
Salt&Pepper
1. I like to heat up the turkey, potatoes, and turnips in the microwave before assembling my sandwich - but if you just really want to get to eating this step isn't necessary... the hot gravy will suffice.
2. Start by spreading the mashed potatoes over your slice of Rye (I used Rye because it's what my family buys... but it also doesn't get too soggy), follow with the turnips and then the cranberry sauce.
3. Cover your layers of tasty mashed up stuff with as much turkey as you can possibly fit.
4. Drench in hot turkey gravy and season with a bit of salt and pepper!
Enjoy your sandwich with a side of Scrambled Eggs Etc! (or snuggled up with a book, movie, or TV show).
Also - don't feel bad about licking the plate clean... we all do it...
Happy Eating!!
Jo
