What to Do with the Leftover Turkey
There are plenty of recipe ideas available in our Better Health Library and other websites for those looking to make a dish from leftover Thanksgiving turkey.
Here’s a recipe I recommend to patients for making a yummy sandwich. It is adapted from a recipe you will find for the ultimate leftover sandwich on mccormick.com.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon sage
- 16 2’’ dinner rolls
- 1 pound sliced roast turkey
- 1 cup prepared stuffing
- 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
