Jazz up your Thanksgiving leftovers by turning yesterday’s feast into fun and easy hot sandwiches. Ree Drummond, host of Food Network’s The Pioneer Woman, brings a new spin on the leftover turkey sandwich.
INGREDIENTS
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 slices sourdough sandwich bread
2 slices Swiss cheese
⅓ cup shredded leftover roast turkey
3 Tbsp cranberry sauce
⅓ cup leftover dressing
2 Tbsp leftover giblet gravy
2 Tbsp butter, softened
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat panini maker. (Or preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-low heat.)
2. Spread mustard on both slices of bread; top each with 1 slice cheese. Layer 1 slice with turkey, cranberry sauce, dressing and gravy. Carefully unite the two halves into 1 sandwich. Spread top side of bread with 1 Tbsp butter.
3. Invert sandwich, butter side down, onto a hot panini maker. Spread top of sandwich with remaining 1 Tbsp butter. Close panini maker; grill until bread is crusty and golden, fillings are hot and cheese is melted. (If using a grill pan or skillet, top sandwich with a second heavy skillet to press it, turning the sandwich halfway through.)
