Leftover Turkey
It sounds kind of funny, but the only time we really actually COOK a turkey is during Thanksgiving. Sure, we may order a turkey sandwich from a deli throughout the year. Or even eat a Turkey Pot Pie, but November is the only time we actually make Turkey ourselves. And then, it seems like we have WAY too much of it after all the Thanksgiving guests are gone and we cue the Christmas music.
What to do with all of it? One easy solution is to make a Turkey Salad Sandwich. It’s so simple and will provide you with several meals for the rest of the week. I’ve played around with some different ingredients and I think I’ve found a pretty stellar combination for the taste buds.
Turkey Salad Sandwich
When I was playing around trying to come up with my own recipe for Turkey Salad Sandwich, I discovered that there seem to be a billion different ways to combine a meat with a mayonnaise based dressing. Some people like theirs with a ton of mayo, some don’t. Some have nuts in them, some don’t. I really think that a Chicken or Turkey Salad is something that everyone has their own preferences on. And that is totally cool. Here is what I’ve come up with and I’d love it you’d try it and let me know what you think!

Sandwich, Salad, Wrap? So Many Possibilities!
There are a ton of things that you can do with Turkey Salad. You could certainly make a sandwich with it. If you got this route, I think the bread choice is super important. I like a nice, soft, multi-grain bread or croissant. Try to avoid toasting your bread or using a hard bread. It will just squish the turkey salad out of the sides. I also dress up my sandwich with some fresh spinach leaves and nice, ripe sliced tomatoes.
You could also make a wrap out it. Again, I’d put some greens in there as well as tomatoes.
Or, if you’re avoiding carbs, you could easily just put this onto a bed of lettuce and have a nice, light meal that way!
