Piled high with leftover turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and Swiss cheese, these mini sandwiches are the best way to enjoy Thanksgiving leftovers!
As far as I’m concerned, the best thing about Thanksgiving dinner is the leftovers. And these Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey Sliders are a great way to incorporate your leftovers into one delicious dish.
I did opt to save my mashed potatoes to make Mashed Potato Balls, but you could probably incorporate leftover potatoes into these sandwiches if you like.
Really, you don’t need a recipe to tell you what to put in your sliders–my instructions are just guidelines. So feel free to pile on as much turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce as you like.
But whatever you do, don’t skip the buttery poppy seed topping. It’s what makes these sliders extra special.
And yes, if these little sandwiches look familiar, they’re a variation on my Hot Ham and Cheese Mini Sandwiches, which are also a favorite around here (and a great way to use leftover ham).
Honestly, I’m not usually a fan of Thanksgiving leftover recipes that mash everything into one place. But I really, really loved these sliders!
My husband and boys loved them too–which was a bit of a surprise, since I wasn’t sure if they would go for stuffing and cranberry sauce in a turkey sandwich.
But we all loved these so much, we made them two or three times after Thanksgiving day. So make sure you’re prepared with plenty of leftovers!
I don’t know about you, but I actually plan my Thanksgiving menu to include leftovers, because I love them so much. And I don’t want to have to cook in the days following a huge holiday feast.
So make sure to include these Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey Sliders when you plan your holiday menu. They may even become a family tradition!
