We love the simplicity of these delicious recipes using leftover turkey, ham, and some of the trimmings. Feel free to throw in whatever you may have from your holiday dinner, including roasted meats and vegetables and a variety of herbs. Indulge in that last bottle of good wine and enjoy.
Pressed Cuban Sandwiches A traditional Cuban sandwich packs roast pork and thinly sliced ham. We’ve switched it up a bit, subbing in leftover ham and turkey. For best results, use two cast-iron skillets or a sandwich press.MAKES: 2 sandwiches
PREP: 10 minutes
COOK: 10 minutes 2 soft Portuguese rolls or soft French sandwich rolls, sliced lengthwise
Prepared mustard, to taste
1 large dill pickle, thinly sliced lengthwise
4 ounces roast turkey, sliced
4 ounces ham, thinly sliced
3 ounces sliced Swiss or provolone cheese
Butter, softened 1. Spread each roll with mustard. Arrange half of pickle, turkey, ham, and cheese slices on each roll; press together gently. Spread outsides of rolls with butter. 2. Place sandwiches in cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Put second skillet directly on sandwiches. Press down, and grill 5 to 10 minutes on each side or until cheese is melted and sandwich is flattened and browned. |
