Notes

Substitutions:
  • If you have dinner rolls or even hamburger buns leftover from Thanksgiving, feel free to use what you have!
  • If you don't have green beans, you can use whatever vegetable you have. I personally love this sandwich with some roasted brussel sprouts!
  • Tofu can be used in place of turkey to make this recipe vegetarian and/or vegan, depending on what you have leftover.
 
Expert Tips:
  • This recipe doesn't store well and it's best eaten as soon as it's made.
  • This sandwich is highly customizable. Feel free to use what you have leftover. Just make sure it tastes good together!
  • Any kind of green can be used on top. We used curly leaf kale, as that's what we had a lot of leftover from Thanksgiving!
