Then we start on the turkey leftovers, the first thing we usually have is a hot turkey sandwich! This is my wife's idea of a great meal! I prefer cold sandwiches, but a warming meal these winter days is always welcome! I make a jack-leg gravy from the broth of the turkey, and a dry mix of chicken and brown gravy powder...This gravy is good, quick, and in different proportions works on pork as well. My broth was simmered and seasoned for about four hours, with poultry seasoning and a bit of dried savory spices and herbs. The bread was a home made white and rye flour mix, toasted, which held up well to the moistness of the toppings.. I made some crescent rolls- just because they sounded good!
Wife had her work schedule changed again, so she took a turkey and cheese sandwich along with her today for supper.. I'll have a similar bite to eat later today!

Yum. Croissants always sound good. You're making me crave turkey. I still have one in the freezer from a Thanksgiving sale. Might have to thaw it out and pop it in the oven and immediately have a sandwich with gravy.
Mmmm turkey and cheese sandwich!
Mmmmmmmm...ANYthing with cheese.....mmmmmmm
I love turkey sandwich and cheese! is yummy any time, gloria
My favorite way with leftover turkey is in a casserole with rice, dressing, turkey and gravy poured over it all and baked. Noodles do in a pinch instead of rice. And I usually dump some buttered bread crumbs and parmesan on top. If you don't have stuffing, make some from packaged. Gotta have stuffing. And then you can use up your leftover cranberry sauce too.
I made the same exact thing yesterday Uncle Buff! and then had open faced samiches today too!!! YUM!
Highlander- Got a gift certificate from where I worked- sent me a Butterball turkey gift certificate! Waiting for the sale...
Casdok- Happy New Year to you and your son!
Al- Cheese freaks unite!
Gloria- Hot or cold, a good combo!
Barb- I love turkey noodle casserole, and will make it soon!
Beth- Great minds think alike!
BlondeD- Just good, hearty food...
Turkey soup is my favorite way to use leftovers from the turkey, oh and tettrazini. Open faced sandwiches sound fantastic as well..
Donna- It's all good! I swear turkey is better as left overs.. Tettrazini is tempting me...
I agree with you BD - I think turkey is always so much better leftover than fresh out of the oven. Strangely enough I feel the same way about ribs, always better the next day reheated.
Love, The Hippie Chick ;-)
Martha- We all have our taste buds, which are different! Cold pizza is a valued breakfast food in America...
Even though your main dishes always sound amazing, I would kill for some homemade bread (fresh from the oven, extra buttery) with wine right now.
Ily- Would that I could provide some to you!
Isn't it GREAT to be our age?
If you choose NOT to have veggies with your meal...Who Cares?
Hahahahahahahaha
Never had a warm turkey sandiwch only a roast beef poboy when I lived in N.O., but this does sound tempting.
I don't know what it is about a turkey sammich, but I prefer it cold with a slice of jellied cranberry...don't snicker...it's just one of my quirks.
G-man- There is quality of Life and quantity of Life, you only get to pick one!
Katherine- I prefer cold myself..I love cranberry juice, dried cranberries, but the sauce everyone loves- not me!
Oooh...gravy....do you ever top your fries with gravy?
I'm saving more turkey leftovers next year.
I love the concept of hot open faced sandwiches, but I have issues with soggy bread, and you've probably guessed that I'm not a big fan of gravy. Regardless, isn't it great to have a good go-to cold weather meal?
Pink- No, I haven't- but it sounds interesting!
Jen- Brining makes turkey or chicken leftovers last longer- try it!
Marjie- That's why I toast it first.. it gives you a window for for a slightly crunchy base, before the gravy makes it mushy!
Love it! Hot Turkey sandwich, I'm sitting in the wilds of Ohio right now and would love to dig into this dish this minute!
Pam
That looks and sounds so flavorful and delicious!
You are not helping my plan to be healthy! MMMM looks good.

Gypsy- Cold days here have influenced our food choices!
BlueV- Just another version of what we call a "Truck Driver's Special"
Kate- Well fed is a part of being healthy!
That looks so good! My stomach is growling!
jolu- In the Midwest, this is easy to find!
Turkey leftovers? Who's got 'em? Can I come over for a sandwich?
What's jack-leg?
Jen- All gone!
Kate- Old term for "winging it" or using something non traditional to get a similar result..
Mmm.. now I'm craving turkey for dinner! Oh well - will have to make do with the Roo Fillets instead
Pax

Paxford- Kangaroo? That I've never had!
Buff- Roo meat is incredibly yummy. They are commercially farming them now so it's easy to get in the local supermarket
Scrumptious! I have always loved open-faced hot turkey sandwiches with gravy! And I never get them! Yum!
Pax- My now deceased father in law boxed a kangaroo while drunk in WWII- said he got his butt kicked!
Jamie- French aren't too big on turkey, are they?
Jack-leg, the only other person I have ever heard use that term is my mother.
Great looking plate, BD. The gravy looks good enough to eat by itself. Not that I've ever done that. Ok, not that I've ever done that for more than two or three spoonfuls;)
Gravy, did I see gravy? Call me the one and only gravy girl! I am with Chris on that! Your gravy always is the bomb... I taught my son how to take the juices left (no meat either) and bag it for the next dish, smothered steak...YUM GRAVY!
Will start a gravy chearleading team for you, what would you like them to wear :)
