Turkey Sliders

I cannot believe Thanksgiving is already here. Is it just me or did fall fly by this year?! I have to say I adore Thanksgiving. It is one of the last holidays that is really just simple-family gathered around good food to give thanks for our many blessings. No presents, no hoopla. I love that. I really enjoy a good piece of leftover turkey with a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. I could eat it just like that-cold. Unfortunately, my family is big so we don't usually get much to take home. But, I know many of you do. I came up with these Turkey Sliders to spice up that day after Thanksgiving turkey sandwich. I enjoyed it so much I had one for lunch and then one for dinner too. Happiest Thanksgiving and many blessings to all of you....

Here's What You Need: (For 1)Leftover turkey!
Whole wheat dinner roll (sliced)
1 tsp low-fat mayo
1/2 tsp "fancy" flavored mustard (I used Jack Daniels Spicy Southwestern)
1 piece of cooked bacon, cut into three pieces
Large slice of tomato, sprinkled with salt and pepper
Handful of baby spinach
**I think this would be great with a slice of avocado too either in addition to or in place of the bacon!

Here's What You Do:Love SIMPLE! Toast the bread lightly on a dry grill pan over medium low about 2 minutes. Mix the mayo and the mustard and spread on one side. Top with the spinach, tomato, and then turkey (sprinkled with black pepper), followed by the bacon. Smoosh the sandwich together and enjoy!

Kid Tip:I left off a few of the toppings but kept the turkey and spinach. I added 1/2 a piece of sharp cheddar and really squished it to make it easy to hold in little hands.

  1. Umm, I'm definitely going to take this recipe home with me this weekend for our left overs. Now, if you could only help me out with our left over sweet potato casserole? www.myjudythefoodie.com!
