Title: hot turkey sandwiches
Post by: caribougrrl on October 16, 2019, 11:22:34 AM
it's a few days after canadian thanksgiving, so all sorts of photos of people's hot turkey sandwiches are showing up on social media

some of them are clearly made incorrectly...

This is a what to do with leftovers thread?

(1) make a normal people sandwich like you would make in June with store-bought turkey sandwich meat with turkey, condiments, and maybe some cheese and pickles.
(2) put everything you have on top of a slice of bread (i.e. turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy).
(3) put everything you have between two slices of bread (i.e. turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and maybe a little gravy - you can use more if you toasted your bread or have thick sliced.)  Gravy does not go ON TOP of a 2-bread sandwich; it goes inside.
(4) skip the turkey entirely because it's too dry and it sucks.

I've never made (nor eaten) a hot turkey sandwich but if I were to do it, cranberry sauce would be the required condiment.  required.

Dark meat only!!!

I agree, but can accept a mix of dark and white. Never white meat only.

Seems to me it would need some sort of gravy (turkey is so dry) so I'm voting for open face with gravy.  And I think fries would be ok at a diner.  Delicious fries would help the whole situation, actually.

Also, mashed potatoes don't reheat very well IME.  When faced with a quantity of leftovers I've reused as other things.

Mashed potatoes are excellent on a meatloaf sandwich.

cranberry mustard or chutney is an acceptable substitute.  but yes, cranberry is required.
