Following the excessive indulgence of a holiday feast, it is not uncommon to have leftovers for days. What’s really the challenge is to repurpose them into enjoyable meals that taste familiar but also new at the same time. In order to really celebrate each component of the meal all over again, reheating most of the preparations doesn’t always have to mean firing up the stove or oven. Using Usha’s Infrared Cooktop as the appliance of choice to warm up, spruce and throw together a delicious Thanksgiving sandwich made purely using the remains of the feast is a great way of reliving the tradition in solitude, or with a special companion that would appreciate this version of the meal as much. Essentially, the sandwich contains whatever one can manage to gather, without the hassle of having to chop or prep any new ingredients and simply pull things out from the refrigerator to transform them into delicious and flavour-packed bites.

Method

  • Slather one side of the sourdough slices with Dijon mustard and lay the cheddar cheese slices on each side.
  • Melt some butter in an induction-friendly pan over medium setting and place the bread down, adjacent to each other.
  • Layer the cranberry jam and stuffing onto one slice and the roast chicken or turkey, potatoes over the other.
  • Toast the bread until they turn golden-brown at the bottom and the cheese melts slightly.
  • Flip one side of the bread on top of the other to sandwich the filling in-between and transfer it to a place.
  • Pour the leftover gravy into the pan after changing the setting to low, warming it slightly and transferring it to a bowl.
  • Slice the sandwich into two, place the bowl of warm gravy on the side for dipping and serve.
