Ingredients

  • 320 g leftover roast turkey, shredded
  • 240 g sandwich bread, 8 slices
  • 160 g sliced mozzarella
  • 30 g mustard
  • 20 g butter
  • 40 ml water

Method

  1. Combine shredded turkey and water in a covered skillet over medium heat.
  2. Heat for 4 minutes, stirring, until the turkey reaches 74 °C (165 °F) at its center.
  3. Spread mustard over all 8 bread slices.
  4. Assemble 4 sandwiches with hot turkey and mozzarella.
  5. Butter the outer sides of the bread.
  6. Toast in a covered skillet over medium-low heat for 3 minutes per side until melted; verify the filling reaches 74 °C (165 °F).

Presentation

Serve 1 sandwich per person; enjoy immediately after preparation.

Suggested pairing

Substitute leftover roast chicken; without leftovers, cook fresh turkey breast fully and shred it.

Storage

Keep the finished dish in a shallow covered container at 4 °C (40 °F) or below. Eat within 24 hours without exceeding 3 days from the original cooking of the leftovers. Do not reheat twice.

Make ahead

Within 2 hours of Christmas dinner, divide cooked leftovers into shallow covered containers and refrigerate at 4 °C (40 °F) or below. Use within 3 days of the original cooking; for later use, freeze promptly in dated, portioned containers. Thaw in the refrigerator, never on the counter. Reheat only the needed portion once.

Food safety

Discard perishable leftovers left unrefrigerated for over 2 hours (over 1 hour above 32 °C (90 °F)). Reheat previously cooked food to 74 °C (165 °F) at its center using a food thermometer, only once. Repurposing does not reset the storage clock. Check gluten, milk, egg and other allergens; when uncertain, discard. Promptly chill cooked rice due to Bacillus cereus risk.
