Seasoned Turkey Sandwiches image

This savory turkey tucked in homemade buns steals the show at any potluck or family reunion. It's been a huge hit at football dinners, graduation parties and more. I like to add tomato and lettuce for crunch and color. -LaVonne Hegland, St. Michael, Minnesota

These sandwiches were so easy to make and they tasted delicious. I used leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and the sandwiches were still really moist and flavorful. I would definitely make these again.

I love these sandwiches! They're so easy to make and they're always a hit with my family. I usually use leftover turkey, but I've also used rotisserie chicken and it works just as well.
