The Best Leftover Turkey Club Sub Sandwich is ideal for the day after your big celebration, whether Thanksgiving or Christmas, or even roast some turkey just to make this sandwich, it's so good #leftover #turkey #sandwich #thanksgiving #christmas #recipe,

The Best Leftover Turkey Club Sub Sandwich features delicious layers of roasted turkey, cheese, bacon, salad, and pickles.  All these gorgeous ingredients are held together in a sourdough baguette.

The Club Sandwich is my absolute favourite sandwich.  It’s a great way to use turkey leftovers from Thanksgiving in the USA or from Christmas dinner in the UK.

I’ve created a step by step guide to make it easy for you to recreate the Best Leftover Turkey Club Sub Sandwich.  All you need to make sure you have the ingredients into your fridge and larder ready for the day after your celebration.

How to make the Best Leftover Turkey Club Sub Sandwich

Use a sourdough baguette for The Best Leftover Turkey Club Sub Sandwich

The Bread

Choose your french loaf carefully, I would say buy the best one you can.  This is a sourdough baguette and it had a lovely crisp crust.  I sliced beautifully, providing the perfect base for the Turkey sandwich.

I love a crusty loaf but if you prefer a softer sandwich use the bread that you like best.

Spread the grain mustard and mayonnaise mixture onto the split baguette for the Best Leftover Turkey Club Sub Sandwich

Make the honey mustard spread

Mix the mayonnaise with the grain mustard and honey and spread it onto the base of the french loaf.

Add layers of cheese and roast turkey slices for the Best Leftover Turkey Club Sub Sandwich

The protein layers

Cover the mayonnaise mix with the sliced Edam cheese and then top with the slices of leftover turkey. Use whatever you have, most cheeses and cold meats will work well in this sandwich.

Crisp slices of grilled bacon on top of the turkey on The Best Leftover Turkey Club Sub Sandwich

The Bacon

There’s nothing quite like salty crispy bacon for flavour and texture.  So cover the turkey slices with the crisp slices of streaky bacon.  Be generous with the bacon.

Add the salad and the cucumber pickle all the way along the length of the Best Leftover, Turkey Club Sub Sandwich

The salad and pickles

Next, add the sliced cucumber and tomatoes and finish with sliced pickled gherkins or, in my case, homemade sweet cucumber pickle.  Use your favourite pickles,  Piccalilli or even sliced pickled beetroot would pack in the flavour, but I love pickled cucumber.

Make your own choice of salad and pickles for your own take on the Best Leftover Turkey Club Sub Sandwich

Serving Suggestion

I served the Turkey sandwich with extra mustard mayonnaise, cucumber pickles, and pickled beetroot. on the side. You can serve it whatever with your favourite accompaniments.

Notes

While I love this combination of flavours, you can change up the sandwich to suit your leftovers.  You can make layers of cooked ham, French cheeses like Brie or Camembert, adding cranberry sauce and salad leaves.  Salami with cheese and sliced olives or tapenade would also be a delicious combination.

    Love this club sandwich, it looks incredibly tasty, must try it! We had something similar tonight as I was going to do a roast turkey dinner but having been gifted a couple of baguettes at the market today we had the turkey cold instead along with some salads;-)

      Thanks Camilla, it’s a simple sandwich but I do think that lots of layers really make a sandwich into something extra special.

    This is making me hungry for Turkey at Christmas time so I can make the best of the leftovers – such a great combo (I almost like it better than the main event!!)

    Love that you’ve made this in a baguette! More sandwiches should be made with proper crusty bread. Yum!

    I’m defrosting a turkey crown right now to try it out in my crockpot and I know we’ll have loads of leftovers so your turkey club sandwich will be perfect for using up some of the leftovers for lunches.

      Yay! I’ll be interested to see how the turkey crown works out in the slow cooker and enjoy your sandwiches.

    This looks delicious. My husband would hands down rather have his than the Christmas roast because he is sandwich obsessed!
