If you ask me, one of the real highlights of Thanksgiving is the day after, when it’s time to dig into the leftovers. There is nothing better than a proper leftover turkey sandwich, and my version has a little bit of everything I love from the feast. Leftover turkey piled high on butter toasted sourdough bread along with cranberry relish, chopped Brussels sprouts, a bit of stuffing, and a small bowl of gravy on the side. It is simple, a little messy, and honestly one of the best parts of the whole holiday.

Recipe: The Ultimate Leftover Turkey Sandwich
1
sandwichIngredients
2 slices sourdough bread
Butter, enough to coat both sides of each slice
Leftover stuffing
Chopped roasted Brussels sprouts
Leftover turkey
Cranberry relish or cranberry sauce
Gravy for drizzling plus extra on the side for dipping.
Directions
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Butter both sides of each slice of bread and toast them in the skillet until golden. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, warm the stuffing, Brussels sprouts, and turkey. Keep the heat low so everything warms through without drying out. Warm the gravy in a small pot.
- Place one slice of toasted bread on a plate. Add the stuffing, Brussels sprouts, and turkey. Drizzle with a little warm gravy and finish with a spoonful of cranberry relish.
- Top with the second slice of bread.
- Serve with a small bowl of hot gravy on the side for dipping.
