Twist on turkey sandwich perfect for leftovers

Turn your leftovers into a family-pleasing sandwich supper. Whether using leftover turkey or turkey from the deli, this gives a new twist to a turkey sandwich. It’s so simple to make that I use it anytime I have leftover turkey or chicken.

The salad is made with cooked green beans, but you can use any leftover or fresh vegetables you have on hand using the recipe as a blueprint.

Helpful Hints

- Any type of whole grain bread can be used.

- Any type of cranberry sauce or jelly can be used. Drain it if it is watery.

- If using fresh green beans instead of cooked ones, microwave for 2 minutes.

- An easy way to chop chives is to cut them with a scissors.

Countdown

- Prepare Green Bean Salad and set aside.

- Toast bread and make sandwich.

Shopping List

To buy: 1 loaf multigrain bread, 1 jar cranberry sauce, 1 jar Dijon mustard, 1/2 pound cooked or deli turkey breast (or use your leftover turkey), 1 small brie cheese, 1 head lettuce, 1 tomato, 1 package green beans (or use leftover green beans), 1 bunch celery and 1 bunch chives.

Staples: Reduced-fat salad dressing, salt and black peppercorns.
