Hot Turkey Sandwiches are a delicious and comforting way to use up leftover turkey, especially after a holiday meal. The turkey is warmed in a savory gravy and served between soft slices of bread, making for a hearty, satisfying sandwich. Perfect for lunch or a quick dinner, these sandwiches are a great way to turn leftovers into something special. Serve them with mashed potatoes or a fresh salad on the side for a complete meal that everyone will love. The combination of tender turkey and rich gravy makes this sandwich a comforting classic.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked turkey, sliced or shredded
- 2 cups turkey or chicken gravy (homemade or store-bought)
- 4 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or your choice)
- 2 tbsp butter (optional, for toasting bread)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, heat the turkey gravy over medium heat until warmed through. Add the sliced or shredded turkey to the gravy and stir to coat. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the turkey is hot.
- Optional: If you prefer toasted bread, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and toast the bread slices on both sides until golden brown.
- To assemble the sandwiches, place a slice of bread on a plate and spoon a generous amount of turkey and gravy over the top. Place another slice of bread on top to make a sandwich, or serve it open-faced.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve hot, with a side of mashed potatoes, vegetables, or a salad for a complete meal.
