Christmas Leftovers Sandwich Recipes

ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS LEFTOVER SANDWICH

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat. Fry the onion for 10-15 minutes until browned. Add the cranberry sauce and fry for a few minutes more.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a frying pan over a medium-high heat for 5 minutes until golden and crisp. Set the bacon aside on kitchen paper, then add the stuffing to the pan. Fry for 3 minutes or until starting to crisp.
• Butter one side of each bread slice. Put 2 slices, buttered-side down, on a work surface and top each one with 1 tbsp gravy, then layer each with half the onion, bacon, turkey, stuffing, cheese and remaining gravy. Sandwich with the non-buttered side of the remaining 2 bread slices.
• Heat the grill to high. Melt the rest of the butter in a pan on a medium heat and fry both sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden, then put under the grill for 5 minutes more until the cheese is oozing.

CHRISTMAS LEFTOVERS SANDWICH

Steps:

• Sandwich two of the bread slices together and toast in the toaster (leaving soft bread on the inside). When done, spread the soft bread with butter and mayonnaise (if using). Butter the untoasted bread on both sides.
• Put the turkey on one of the toasted slices of bread, then a layer of ham, then cheese. Top with the buttered untoasted bread. Add the lettuce, then the pigs, and dot the slaw over the top. Sandwich the other toasted bread slice on top. Cut in half or quarter and use a few cocktail sticks to secure the sandwich, with a gherkin or two on top. Eat with crisps or fries.

CHRISTMAS LEFTOVER SANDWICH

Steps:

• Slice a roughly 3cm lid off the top of the loaf. Scoop out most of the bread from the loaf and lid, leaving about a 1cm layer (you can use the scooped-out bread for croutons or in another recipe).
• Combine the mayonnaise and mustard, then spread 2 tbsp over the inside of the loaf, and 1 tbsp inside the lid. Spoon most of the cranberry sauce into the lid, followed by half the spinach, the crispy onions, and half the turkey. Arrange the rest of the turkey in the base of the loaf, followed by the rest of the cranberry sauce, the pigs in blankets, stuffing and remaining spinach. Top the loaf with the stuffed lid, press down lightly, then tightly wrap and chill for at least 3 hrs. Slice into four or six wedges to serve.
