Although it might be easier to enjoy this dish as an open faced sandwich, it allows people to customize the sandwich a little. Using the stuffing as a base, it can have white meat, dark meat, vegetables, cranberries, gravy or a little taste of everything. If you don’t like stuffing, you could “waffle” some bread and adapt the recipe a little.
The classic turkey sandwich is often a top choice, but it doesn’t mean that the sandwich lacks flavor. Since turkey and guacamole makes a great pair, why not add some Wholly® Guacamole to that sandwich or roll-up.
Even if it is time to skip the bread, consider a scoop of Wholly® Guacamole on top of turkey salad. It can even make eating that forgotten crudite platter a little more enjoyable.
Speaking of the leftover vegetables, one of the easiest ways to incorporate those leftovers is with a soup. Jennie-O Turkey has a variety of soup and stew recipes. From a simple turkey and rice soup to a hearty stew, there is an option for every preference.
In addition, Jennie-O Turkey has a suggest for a turkey pizza. Given that kids love making their own pizza, this idea could be a way to keep them eating turkey even as the leftovers hit the second or third day. Why not create a make your own pizza station and let the fun begin.
