Description

A delicious way to use up Thanksgiving leftovers by making sandwiches with turkey, stuffing patties, green beans, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and soft rolls!


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups leftover stuffing

2 cups cooked turkey breast, sliced or shredded

1 cup leftover green beans, trimmed

1 cup mashed potatoes

1/2 cup cranberry sauce

4 sandwich rolls or slices of bread

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1/2 cup grated cheese, (optional)

2 1/2 tbsp. olive oil

salt and pepper, to tase


Instructions

Step 1: Put the stuffing in a bowl and break it up with your hands. Add the beaten egg and grated cheese (if using), mixing it well with the stuffing.

Step 2: Form the stuffing mixture into 4 equal patties, each about 3 inches wide and 1/2 thick. Put 2 tbsp. olive oil into a skillet and heat on medium. Fry the patties 2-3 minuets per side until golden brown and crispy. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate until you are ready to assemble the sandwiches.

*While the stuffing patties are cooking you can gently reheat the mashed potatoes and turkey in the microwave.

Step 3: Heat remaining olive oil in the pan. Add the leftover green beans and saute over medium heat for 3-5 minuets. Add salt and pepper as needed.

Step 4: Slice the sandwich rolls in half. Spread a layer of cranberry sauce on the bottom of each roll. Top with 1/4 cup mashed potatoes, 1/2 cup turkey, 1/2 cup green beans, and a crispy stuffing patty.

Step 5: Place the top half of the roll onto each sandwich. Serve warm and enjoy!
