A national study on turkey consumption found: Nearly half of U.S. consumers eat turkey at least once every two weeks with more than a quarter eating turkey deli meat. It is no secret that I love a good turkey sandwich. In fact one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving is all of the left over turkey to make sandwiches! This is a recipe for my most favorite turkey sandwich, it has a truly unique blend of flavors that is delicious! This is adapted from a recipe from a fancy restaurant my parents ate at years ago!
Guadalajara Turkey Sandwich
1 pound turkey (I like the thick cut roasted turkey, pictured is a Norbest Sweetheart roast)Monterey Jack Cheese sliced (about 1/2 a pound)
Jellied Cranberry Sauce, sliced
7 0z can whole green chilies, rinsed
8 slices of bread (get a really nice variety like sour dough, or homemade bakery bread)
3 Tablespoons Mayo
1 Tablespoon Mustard
Butter for putting on the outside of bread
Yum! This is a great sandwich! When I first told my hubby about this sandwich years ago, he was a little skeptical, about the flavors, but now even he is a believer! What is your favorite turkey sandwich?
PS, it is getting dark here so early, sorry the quality of picture is not as good as usual! I was going to try to save a sandwich for the morning to take pictures of... like that happened, they were gobbled up fast!
I like to party at these lovely blogs!



Tried these for supper tonight...they are truely amazing!!! Wouldn't mind eating these once a week at least :-) I used cranberry relish left over from thanksgiving and green chili we had chopped up w/onions and garlic in the fridge (we live in the Southwest so that's normal here) Very very yummy!!! Thank you so much for a new idea...very definitely added to this families favorites, even our two year old loved it (left the chili out on hers though)! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!!!!

ReplyDeleteLooks SO good! I have a favorite that's similar, but uses avocado instead of cranberry sauce, but never would have thought to turn it into an awesome Thanksgiving leftovers sandwich. Thanks!
