Sloppy Turkey Melts

That time of year.  Left over turkey.  Are you slowing down on ideas?  Here's one.  Sloppy Turkey melts combine the idea of turkey salad with a "Melt" style sandwich.  Plus it uses up some of those harder to use veggies in the drawer




What I used:

  • Turkey
  • Leeks
  • Parsley
  • S & P
  • Mayo
  • Cheese - shredded
  • Mustard
  • Spices - Paprika, cayenne, oregano
  • Bread & butter
How I put it together:
  • Chop up turkey, leeks, and parsley and cook in a pan with some oil or butter until the leeks are soft.  Transfer to a bowl.
  • Add spices, cheese couple spoons of mayo and a good spoon of decent mustard (more if your using American Yellow stuff)
  • Mix until gooey and mushy goodness.
  • Now you're going to do the rest link a grilled cheese sandwich, bread with butter side down on a pan, spread of the "Melt" mixture, second piece of bread.  Cook until the bread is toasty and golden browned.
  • Eat and be happy
The Aftermath:

I loved the zing of the mustard.  We use Trader Joe's brand Dijon Mustard, it is the closest thing to true French mustard we can find for a fair price.  Spicy and tasty.
