Transform your Christmas dinner leftovers into new delicious meals.
After a big holiday feast, there are often plenty of leftovers. Instead of letting them go to waste, why not turn them into delicious sourdough sandwiches? Sourdough is the perfect bread to use for creating new and exciting meals with your holiday leftovers. Here are a few ideas for transforming your leftover turkey, ham, and other holiday fixings into mouthwatering sourdough sandwiches.
Sourdough Leftover Turkey Sandwich
One of the most classic ways to use up Christmas turkey is by making a turkey sandwich. For the perfect sourdough turkey sandwich:
- Layer slices of leftover turkey with cranberry sauce, stuffing, and a bit of gravy.
- Add a few sprigs of fresh thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
- Toast the sourdough to add a crispy crunch.
Gravy-Soaked Sourdough
For something a little more decadent, try a gravy-soaked sourdough sandwich. Take a few slices of leftover turkey or ham, place them on sourdough, and drizzle them with rich turkey or beef gravy. Grill the sandwich in a pan or press for a crispy, golden-brown exterior. The gravy-soaked bread will soak up all the delicious flavors.
Veggie & Cheese Holiday Sandwich
For those who don’t eat meat, there are plenty of ways to make a satisfying sandwich using leftover vegetables. Use roasted vegetables like Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, and carrots along with a generous serving of melted cheese (think cheddar or goat cheese). Top it off with a little mustard or a spread of garlic aioli, and you’ve got a festive, savory vegetarian option.
Mini Sourdough “Holiday Sliders”
For a fun, bite-sized take on leftovers, make mini holiday sliders using sourdough rolls. You can fill them with leftover turkey, ham, or vegetarian fillings and bake them with melted cheese on top. These little sandwiches are perfect for parties or quick, easy meals.
