Ultimate Leftover Turkey Sandwich with White Sauce

In the days after preparing the Thanksgiving spread, the last thing we want to do is get back into the kitchen. And while ordering a pizza sounds nice, we can’t forget about all the leftovers in the fridge — especially the turkey.

We don’t think your leftover turkey should go to waste, and Pitmaster Pat Martin, the man behind Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint and Hugh-Baby’s, agrees. This year, he’s teaching us how to make his ultimate turkey sandwich — complete with his famous white sauce.

The secrets lie in the sauce and his foolproof method of re-heating the meat. Follow his words of wisdom, and turn your turkey into something you can enjoy even after Thanksgiving has come and gone.

Re-Heating Your Turkey

No one wants dry turkey, especially when it is the centerpiece of your sandwich. Re-heat the turkey in the oven in plastic wrap for two hours at 250° to keep it from drying out. (If you’re curious about the plastic wrap, read this.) Don’t even think about opening the microwave.

Assembling the Sandwich

Pile the turkey between two slices of white bread, swap the cranberry sauce for Pat’s signature white sauce, and add lettuce and cheese. Of course, you can edit the toppings to suit your cravings, but we trust Pat, who keeps things simple and lets the turkey and white sauce shine.

Pat’s White Sauce

“This versatile sauce goes great on just about anything — from smoked turkey to chicken wings and even cheeseburgers. Layer on and enjoy,” Pat tells us. Trust us when we tell you that you will use this sauce on everything, and you will wish you had even more leftover turkey because you’ll be craving this sandwich for days to come.
