JUST AWESOME!!! This sandwich is similar to the one on the menu at Applebee's Restaurant and is absolutely delicious! Bread of your choice can be used, but it must be grilled to get the true flavor and the goodness of melted cheese.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 pound sliced leftover turkey meat
1 cup Cranberry BBQ Sauce, recipe follows
4 hoagie rolls, buttered
4 thick slices fontina
Fried Shallots, recipe follows
Two 14-ounce cans cranberry sauce
1 cup orange juice
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch ground cinnamon
Pinch kosher salt
1 cup tomato puree
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco
4 cups canola oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Add the turkey and Cranberry BBQ Sauce to a large bowl and toss to coat. Pile the turkey on the rolls and top with the cheese. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and place under the broiler until the cheese melts and is bubbly. Top the sandwiches with the Fried Shallots and serve.
  • Add the cranberry sauce, juice, ground ginger, cinnamon and a pinch of salt to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook uncovered, stirring often to incorporate flavors, about 15 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and cool. Reserve 1 cup and store the rest for future use.
  • Combine the tomato puree, 1 cup of the cranberry sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper and hot sauce in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer uncovered, stirring frequently until all ingredients are well incorporated, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Heat the oil to 375 degrees F in a high-sided skillet or pan. Put the flour in a small bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the shallots to the bowl and toss to coat, shaking off any excess flour. Fry the shallots in batches until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the shallots to a paper-towel-lined-plate and sprinkle with salt.

TURKEY CRANBERRY SANDWICH



Turkey Cranberry Sandwich image

I think that my three favorite things about Thanksgiving are family time, the meal and LEFTOVERS! This is the perfect sandwich to refuel after shopping. I really liked the cream cheese addition. It really complements the turkey and cranberry.

Provided by Vickie Parks

Categories     Sandwiches

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 slice bread
2 Tbsp cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp cranberry sauce (I use my homemade cranberry relish)
1 Tbsp low-fat mayonnaise (optional--I usually omit it, but most of my family prefers it)
2 slice cooked turkey (great use of your leftover thanksgiving turkey)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 romaine lettuce leaf

Steps:

  • 1. Lightly toast both slices of bread. Spread cream cheese on both halves while bread is still hot, so the cream cheese melts justly slightly. Add mayonnaise, if you wish.
  • 2. Spread cranberry sauce on both slices of toasted bread with cranberry sauce (or cranberry relish).
  • 3. Top one toasted slice with cooked turkey meat and season with salt and pepper. Then top with Romaine lettuce leaf. Place the other slice of bread over the Romaine lettuce. Cut the sandwich in half diagonally.
  • 4. Serve with re-heated leftover Thanksgiving stuffing or re-heated mashed potatoes and gravy.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have leftover turkey, you can use deli turkey slices.
  • Toast the bread for a crispy sandwich.
  • Use a variety of condiments, such as mayonnaise, mustard, and cranberry sauce, to add flavor.
  • If you are making the sandwich ahead of time, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Conclusion:

The turkey cranberry sandwich is a classic Thanksgiving leftover sandwich that is easy to make and delicious. It is perfect for lunch or dinner, and can be made with a variety of ingredients. The tips above will help you make the best turkey cranberry sandwich possible.
