Day After Thanksgiving Turkey Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Spread mayonnaise on both slices of bread.
• Place turkey slices on one piece of bread.
• Top with potatoes and-or stuffing, cranberry sauce, and brown gravy.
• Close sandwich; slice in half and eat.
• *Barbecue Turkey Sandwich-top turkey with barbecue sauce and cooked bacon strips; melt cheddar cheese on top.
• *The Pilgrim-pile roasted turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy, and Munster cheese on white bread.
• *Turkey Melt-arrange turkey on toast, top with Swiss or cheddar cheese, and broil until cheese melts.

Steps:

• Grease a 8- or 9-inch square baking pan with butter, then line it with parchment paper, covering the bottom and 2 sides with one sheet, creasing it into the corners to ensure a snug fit. If the stuffing is cold, warm it in the microwave for 1 minute or covered in a 350-degree oven for 15 minutes.
• Put the stuffing into the prepared pan and press into an even layer using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon. Top with a sheet of parchment and press firmly with your hands, tightly compacting the stuffing. If you have a second pan of the same size, use that to pack down the stuffing. Cover and chill overnight.
• The next day, prepare your sandwich fillings: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and cranberry sauce. Set aside.
• In a small saucepan, combine the shredded dark-meat turkey and the gravy. Gently heat over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
• In a large nonstick skillet or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-high, warm the oil until hot and shimmering. (The stuffing needs to be cooked hot and fast, or it will stick to the skillet and fall apart.) Meanwhile, remove the stuffing from the pan by lifting the parchment overhang, and cut the stuffing into four squares.
• Cook stuffing until browned and crisp on one side, gently pressing it down using the base of the baking pan you chilled it in, about 1 minute. Using a flat spatula, quickly flip each piece of stuffing. Cook the other side until browned and crisp, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate.
• In the same skillet, melt the 2 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat until foamy. Add the sliced turkey breast, flipping occasionally until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Assemble the sandwiches: Evenly spread 2 tablespoons of cranberry mayonnaise on 1 side of each slice of bread. Divide the buttery sliced turkey over the 4 slices of bread. Divide half the assorted leftovers on top of the white meat, then top each with a slab of crisp stuffing.
• On top of the crisp stuffing, evenly divide the gravy-dressed dark meat and the remaining assorted leftovers. Top with remaining mayo-slathered bread. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut each sandwich on the diagonal and serve right away.

Steps:

• Soak 1 slice bread in gravy about 2 minutes.
• Spread other 2 slices with mayonnaise mixed with the seasoning.
• On bottom slice of bread, layer the lettuce, turkey, the gravy-soaked slice of bread, stuffing& the top slice of bread.
