Who out there doesn't like Thanksgiving leftovers?
Me, for one.
I know, it's positively un-American.
You should know by now, my dear readers, that I'm not a big fan of leftovers in general. Thanksgiving leftovers generally become new meals: stuffing is put into meatloaf, deviled eggs become egg salad, and turkey is usually added to soup.
Robinson was very, very sad to see the turkey meat go into this delightfully delicious filling, but I wasn't. These sandwiches are heavenly. And, if you eat this filling between a leftover roll, you'll be killing two birds with one stone!
One the Menu: BBQ Turkey Sandwiches
5-6 cups cooked, shredded turkey
1 onion, finely chopped*
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1/2 pepper (your choice of color), finely chopped
1 tbs olive oil (or oil of your choice)
2-3 cups of BBQ sauce (any kind), about 1 standard sized bottle
Leftover rolls or buns
Saute vegetables until soft, about five minutes. Add turkey and BBQ sauce. Heat through, then serve on rolls.
* I'm not sure how your family does Thanksgiving, but mine always had a vegetable plate. Always. For this meal, I just chopped up leftover veggies and threw them in this dish. If you don't have these particular vegetables, try something else or omit them all together.
Blessed be.
