Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices of hearty bread (preferably sourdough or brioche)
- Juicy roasted turkey slices
- Fresh lettuce and tomato slices
- Creamy mayonnaise or aioli
- Leftover Thanksgiving gravy (for the Moist Maker layer)
- Cheddar or Swiss cheese slices
- Butter or margarine for toasting
- Optional pickles or onions for extra flavor
Instructions
- Prepare the gravy: If using leftover gravy, heat it gently until warm. This will serve as the moist layer in your sandwich.
- Assemble the base: Spread mayonnaise or aioli on one slice of bread. Add a layer of turkey slices, followed by a slice of cheese.
- Add the Moist Maker: Spoon a generous amount of warm gravy onto the turkey layer, ensuring it’s soaked well but not over-saturated.
- Build the sandwich: Top with lettuce, tomato, and optional pickles/onions. Cover with another slice of bread.
- Toasting: Spread butter on the outer slices of bread and toast in a skillet or Crock-Pot Family-Size Slow Cooker until golden brown.
- Serve hot: Slice your Moist Maker sandwich and serve immediately for maximum flavor and moisture.
Notes
- This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh to retain the crispiness of the bread and the moisture of the gravy.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Reheat in a skillet or oven, adding fresh gravy if needed.
- Use hearty bread to prevent sogginess from the gravy layer.
