These open face turkey sandwiches with gravy are the perfect way to use up leftover turkey breast and Thanksgiving gravy but also make a delicious and easy dinner any night of the year.

Ingredients
1cupturkey gravy
6 - 8slicesof leftover turkey breastbroken into chunks
4large or 8 small slices of breadwe love Italian or sourdough bread in particular
Salt and Pepper
Optional: Thanksgiving Leftovers Mix & Match Toppings
1cupprepared mashed potatoes
1cupgreen bean casserole
1/4cupcranberry sauce
Instructions
Place the gravy in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk it until warmed through, about 3 minutes. If the leftover gravy is too thick, you can add a splash of chicken broth if desired.
Add the turkey breast to the saucepan and gently stir it in with a large spoon. Let the meat warm through, about 2 minutes.
Place 1 large sandwich sized slice of bread or 2 smaller artisan loaf slices in each of 4 dinner bowls. Evenly divide and spoon the turkey and gravy over each bread slice.
Serve immediately with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
OPTIONAL:
If you have a fridge full of Thanksgiving leftovers, warmed up mashed potatoes or green bean casserole can make an excellent layer over the bread with the turkey and gravy spooned over the top.
I also love to add a dollop of leftover cranberry sauce when we have it.
