Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices sourdough bread about 1/2 inch thick
  • 8 oz leftover roast turkey skin removed and finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium turkey broth
  • 4 oz Muenster thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp mild giardiniera made with pickled carrot cauliflower and pepper, drained very well and finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter softened

Method
 

  1. Warm turkey with broth in a covered skillet over low heat for 5 to 8 minutes until the meat reaches 165°F. Uncover and let excess liquid evaporate, then transfer to a bowl.
  2. Divide half the Muenster over 2 bread slices. Add warm turkey in flat layers, scatter the finely chopped drained giardiniera evenly and cover with remaining cheese and bread.
  3. Spread softened butter thinly over both outer faces of each sandwich. Wipe the skillet and heat over medium-low.
  4. Cook 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden and cheese fully melts. Cover briefly if needed; keep heat low enough to prevent burning.
  5. Rest for 2 minutes, cut each sandwich in half and serve while the filling remains soft.
