This turkey sandwich is easy and delicious! All you need is some leftover turkey and fixings from the holidays for this turkey sandwich!
This particular Turkey Sandwich has been one of my favorites since I was a kid!
Are you one of those people that eats one thing at a time, when you have a plate with different foods on it? Not me. At Thanksgiving dinner I will put a little bit of several things on my fork and chew them, together. I love the way the flavors mingle!
Why does this sandwich work?
- Tastes delicious
- great use for holiday leftovers
- incredibly easy
- customizable to your tastes.
Ingredients in this Turkey Sandwich
- leftover turkey
- stuffing (or dressing)
- cranberry sauce
- A good quality white bread is fairly critical, as well! Preferably, homemade white bread!
- leftover gravy (optional)
The other ingredient that is totally optional is warmed gravy! It is good, but if done in the correct order, this sandwich doesn’t require it, in my opinion!
You can decide to heat up the stuffing, or try it cold. I like it both ways. As far as the cranberry sauce goes, whole berry, or jellied? That is up to you, as well! I like those both too!
How to make it
It is important that the sandwich is built in the proper order. If you put the cranberry sauce on the outside, near the bread, the bread will get all soggy and fall apart! So don’t do it!!
- You can choose to toast the bread, or not, which ever you prefer.
- Add sliced turkey to top of bread.
- Spread cranberry on top of turkey.
- Add stuffing to top of cranberry sauce. Top with second slice bread. Can cover all with warmed gravy, if desired.

I am crazy about cranberry sauce as well! Thanks Geetha!

Perfect to me! I love all the elements cold but lightly toasted bread is good! There is nothing better than the combo of cranberry, stuffing and cranberry – YUM!
Binky
I agree! A once a year sandwich that I must have! Thanks, Amanda!

Thank you Julie! It is very good!

This sandwich is such a great idea Beth and would make me soo happy right now as I am starving. I live the addition of the stuffing – yummmm. Will definitely remember to make it for Christmas 😉

The stuffing is the important part, I think! Thanks for you comment Ramona! I hope you enjoy it!
Jessica Formicola
I still have plenty of leftovers, so I will be trying this for lunch today! It looks amazing!
Binky
I am almost out of leftovers. Just enough to finish my turkey soup. Thanks Jessica!
Lisa Bynum
Can you believe we didn’t even serve cranberry sauce at my Thanksgiving this year. Which is really too bad, because I personally LOVE some cranberry sauce on my turkey sandwich.
Binky
I love cranberry sauce! It really is hard to believe you didn’t have any with Thanksgiving dinner! It is kind of a must for me! Thanks for your comment, Lisa!
Daniela
What a great way to use Thanksgiving leftovers! I love stuffing, so this sandwich is right up my alley.
Binky
Thanks Daniela! Stuffing is perhaps my favorite part of the meal, as well!
SHASHI AT SAVORYSPIN
WOW -this sandwich looks so delicious! Makes me almost wanna skip thanksgiving just for the leftovers!
Binky
Oh, I could totally do that! The leftovers are the best!! Thanks Shashi!
Caroline
I agree, this is a tasty way to use up some leftovers – it’s also great with brie in there too if you don’t have any stuffing (or use both!)
Binky
Yes, I love brie, but then I usually leave off the stuffing and grill it to melt the brie! Thanks Caroline!
