Hot Turkey Sandwich

This hot turkey sandwich recipe is one of my absolute favorite dinners!

Tender slices of turkey are simmered in gravy and spooned over toasted bread for an easy and savory open-faced sandwich.

Leftover Turkey Sandwich

A hot turkey sandwich is, hands down, my favorite way to enjoy leftovers. I always serve it with oven fries.

• This dish is all about the leftovers! Keep it simple or dress it up with extra leftovers
• Totally customizable – add cranberry sauce, stuffing, or even leftover mashed potatoes.

What You Need for a Hot Turkey Sandwich

Bread – Make it a masterpiece and choose dense bread that soaks up all the delicious gravy! Use what’s on hand or use homemade white bread or make hot turkey sliders on fluffy dinner rolls.

Turkey – Slices of leftover turkey (or turkey breast) are perfect for this recipe. You can also use deli sliced turkey, ask them to slice it a bit thicker at the deli counter.

Gravy – Add any leftover gravy to this recipe, if you don’t have any try either our favorite brown gravy or homemade turkey gravy.

Other Additions – Heat and add other leftovers to this sandwich, a layer of green bean casserole or stuffing are yummy additions too. Serve with a side of cranberry sauce.

• In a medium saucepan or 10-inch skillet, heat the gravy to a simmer over medium-high heat.

• Add the turkey slices and stir into the gravy. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the turkey is heated through, 3-5 minutes.

• Toast bread, spread with butter. Top with turkey slices and extra gravy.

If the gravy is too thick, add water or chicken/turkey broth a little bit at a time to reach the desired consistency. 
Canned mushrooms (drained) or fried mushrooms are a great addition to the gravy.
If desired, replace the bread with leftover mashed potatoes. Combine 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes and 2 eggs. Form into 4 patties and fry in butter or olive oil until crisp on each side.
