Moment of truth...We ate at 4pm pst and everything was great even thought the wife forgot to set the bird on a rack in the roaster. I was nervous about the stuffing (dam TV) so she put it in the micro and nuked it. Thee minutes ago she stepped into the 'puter room with the bowl of dressing in her hand fresh out of the micro. Not one person asked for dressing that's how good the meal was. (there were 10 adults)

I didn't want to fix the run of the mill turkey sandwich, so I put this together. I suggest making a few extra if you're serving them to a crowd - they go fast!

Don’t be put off by the length of the recipe…it only LOOKS complicated.

Fancy Turkey Sandwiches

To serve 2 people.

Two small submarine/hoagie buns (I buy them from Jersey Mike’s or Subway), split in half.
6 generous slices turkey
6 slices bacon, cooked till not quite crisp
6 slices best quality Swiss cheese
Shredded iceberg lettuce
Minced garlic
Thousand Island Dressing (the type from the refrigerated section in the supermarket)
Olive oil

Use a large cast iron skillet if available. Put a few tablespoons of olive oil in the bottom of the skillet and tip until the bottom is coated, then add maybe another tablespoon. Turn heat on medium high. Saute the garlic in olive oil. Turn the heat to medium.

Place 2 bread halves (cut side down) in the bottom of the skillet. Move them around a little to distribute the olive oil and garlic evenly. When warm and slightly toasty, remove from skillet – slide skillet to an off burner to cool slightly. Assemble the sandwich …. Then start over again with olive oil and garlic and 2 more buns.

Place the sautéed buns on a large cookie sheet, cut side up. For each sandwich, use 3 slices of turkey, top with 3 slices of Swiss cheese. If you prefer, put the sandwiches under the broiler to melt cheese. After cheese is melted, remove from oven, top with 3 slices of bacon, shredded lettuce and cover entire sandwich with Thousand Island dressing (be generous). Top with other half of toasted bun.

Serve with cranberry sauce.

Thanks for the recipes...I don't have a whole lot of leftovers (19 year old son home from college:)) but I will add these to my collection. Here is my contribution: TURKEY DEVONSHIRE 1 package plain English muffins Leftover turkey (enough for 6 sandwiches) 12 strips (cooked til crispy) bacon 1 large firm tomato (6 slices) 8 oz pack fresh mushroom (sliced) Broccoli (approx. 1/2 head) separated into floret, and steamed Cheese sauce: 16 oz package sharp shredded cheddar 1 cup milk, 1/2 stick butter (or margarine) 1/4 cup flour (Velveeta mixed w/milk, and microwaved also works well)

In saucepan melt butter/margarine. Whisk in milk, heat til almost boil...remove from heat and whisk in cheese.

On oven proof dinner plates, arange two halves of English muffin, layer w/turkey, mushrooms, tomato slice, add crisped bacon last. Spoon cheese sauce over the open face sandwich (make sure some is spooned around muffin on plate as well). Place plates in oven for about 25 to 30 minutes (at 350). Carefully remove and place plate on another plate (used as a charger). Enjoy!

Its cheap yet elegant!

W HAS THE TURKEY!.......NO....TOO TOUGH AND GREASY.

I'm Drinking From My Saucer

I've never made a fortune,
and it's probably too late now.
But I don't worry about that much,
I'm happy anyhow.

And as I go along life's way,
I'm reaping better than I sowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

Haven't got a lot of riches,
and sometimes the going's tough.
But I've got loving ones all around me,
and that makes me rich enough.

I thank God for his blessings,
and the mercies He's bestowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

I remember times when things went wrong,
My faith wore somewhat thin.
But all at once the dark clouds broke,
and the sun peeped through again.

So Lord, help me not to gripe,
about the tough rows I have hoed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

If God gives me strength and courage,
When the way grows steep and rough.
I'll not ask for other blessings,
I'm already blessed enough.

And may I never be too busy,
to help others bear their loads.
Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

Thank God for the computer and FR.

I had no idea what to do with 5 pounds of left over turkey breast.

[Conservative4Ever]

Two slices of white bread

Lots of white meat turkey

Big glob of cranberry sauce, homemade preferable.

Two big globs of mayonnaise.

Spread the big globs of mayonnaise on the white bread. One glob on each slice. Pile turkey on left slice of white bread. Spread cranberry sauce on right slice of white bread. Quickly join the two white slices of bread together. Various regions might add a big glob of dressing to this creation, but it is optional. Always serve with glass of ice cold milk.

Enjoy!!
