Turkey Sandwich Recipes

Soo..... have you had your Thanksgiving leftover turkey sandwich yet? I have and it was dee-lish!

I'm sure everyone has their favorite recipe for this yummy Thanksgiving tradition. What's yours? What kind of bread do you use? Do you only use Thanksgiving ingredients? Or do you add salad dressing or mayonnaise to the mix?

The first time I heard about this after turkey day ritual, I had to try it. The recipe called for turkey, dressing or stuffing, and cranberry sauce.

I can't remember what type of bread I chose that first time. I think now I would choose a kaiser bun or hoagie roll. Either one would work well.

No matter what ingredients you choose, if you're a sandwich lover, you have to try it at least once. Below are two versions of the leftover turkey day sandwich recipe. If you have a better recipe, fill in the form below and share it with us now.
