We made grilled cheese with leftover turkey, brie, cranberry sauce, and a wee bit of lightly sauteed kale. Outstanding.

My mom makes an awesome post Thanksgiving sandwich. Turkey, mayo, lots of crispy bacon and a healthy slice of jellied cranberry sauce (yes, from the can!) on toast. Creamy, salty, sweet and toasty. Gotta love it.

I just love pickled onions on a sandwich. You get the flavor of the onion without that raw taste that lingers on your breath all afternoon!
I'll have to try your version of the turkey melt. I usually make mine on a toasted hoagy roll with whipped cream cheese topped with toasted sliced almonds, cranberry compote, a layer of turkey w/salt and pepper, then a layer of sauerkraut-(that I make with caramelized onions, the kraut, good splash of turkey stock and caraway seed) and finally, lettus and a little mayo on the top bun. Oh, Mama!

It's so funny. Tonight we had open faced tuna sandwiches with pickled onions and mozzarella cheese, though the arugula was on the side as a salad. I plucked 6 chickens for Thanksgiving and there was not one morsel left over (sadly). We're doing an Overnight at the school this weekend, so we'll be plucking more chickens. What is Thanksgiving without leftovers?

Thanks for this post, I love these kismit sandwiches. Also, I'm kind of addicted to grilled cheese recently.

Thanks for the pickled onion idea. Just made some yeast rolls today and used some of the fat from the turkey roasting pan as a substitute for the oil in the recipe...oh my, that is good!

I usually put the turkey, or another type of meat such as: eye of round roast, ham, pepperoni, etc., on a tortilla with red onion slices, shredded low - fat Cheddar, low - fat Mozzarella and Monterey jack cheeses and a piece of whatever lettuce I have handy. Then wrap it all up and heat it on a non - stick grill over medium heat until all sides are browned and the cheeses are melted. I don't use any butter and the low - fat cheeses lower the calorie count.

However, your recipe was great and I enjoyed it immensely. Thanks for the recipe I e-mailed it to a friend I know will love and appreciate it.

I made a Turkey Wrap instead of a sandwich, with butter-sauteed leftover roast turkey meat, with lettuce and cherry tomatoes and drizzled with a mayo-mint sauce mix! Great way to use up the turkey and its accompanying sauce with a light twist. It was all then wrapped up in a flour tortilla and chowed down while watching holiday movies =D
