20+ Thanksgiving Turkey Sandwich Recipe With Strawberry Jam Cook Up Something Special!

Ingredients

For the sandwich:

• Leftover turkey - shredded or sliced
• Bread - any type you prefer, but we recommend using a crusty sourdough or whole wheat bread for added texture and flavor
• Strawberry jam - you can use store-bought or make your own
• Brie cheese - thinly sliced
• Arugula - for some freshness and a peppery kick
• Mayonnaise - to spread on the bread
• Butter - for toasting the bread

For the jam:

• 1 pound strawberries - hulled and sliced
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

1. Make the jam:

1. In a saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
2. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries have broken down and the mixture has thickened.
3. Remove from heat and let it cool completely before transferring to a jar. This can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.

2. Prepare the sandwich:

1. Spread mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice.
2. On the other side, spread a generous amount of strawberry jam.
3. Layer on the shredded turkey, brie cheese, and arugula.
4. Close the sandwich and spread butter on the outside of the bread slices.
5. In a pan over medium heat, toast the sandwich until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
6. Remove from heat and let it cool for a minute before slicing and serving.
