Assemble the Sandwiches
Serve with Gravy
Serve the sandwich with only one slice of bread on the bottom, a classic diner style. This version is lighter on carbs and lets the turkey and gravy shine.
Place a slice of provolone, Swiss, or cheddar cheese on top of the turkey before adding the top slice of bread or pouring the gravy. The heat will melt the cheese for a gooey, delicious addition.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of finely chopped fresh sage, thyme, or rosemary to the gravy during the last few minutes of simmering for an aromatic boost.
If you have leftover stuffing, add a layer on top of the turkey before closing the sandwich for the ultimate Thanksgiving-in-a-sandwich experience.
