This is the week so many of us are looking for different ideas for the leftover turkey in our refrigerators. If you’re in that position, having cooked too much turkey or are among the lucky who were gifted with leftovers as you departed your host’s house, luck strikes again.

This recipe is one I found online and tweaked a bit. Since then, we’ve been enjoying it for an after-Thanksgiving meal for a couple of years now.
It’s a mix between a traditional turkey sandwich, a Hot Brown and a slider. One of the things I love about it is that I can make a dozen in one fell swoop, and any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator or even the freezer until you need them again. They reheat easily in your toaster oven or your regular oven — if there are any leftovers.
All you’ll need are two cans of crescent rolls and some cheese — either Swiss or cheddar, two things you may not have left over from Thanksgiving. The other ingredients are ones you may likely have in your refrigerator after Thanksgiving — turkey, cranberry sauce and some seasonings. With those at the ready, you’re good to go.
