Step by Step Guide to the Best Leftover Turkey Club Sub Sandwich
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 and sliced beautifully providing the perfect base for the leftover Turkey Club Sub Sandwich.
Mix the mayonnaise with the grain mustard and honey and spread it onto the base of the french loaf.
Cover the mayonnaise mix with the sliced Edam cheese and then top with the slices of leftover turkey.
Cover the turkey slices with the crisp slices of streaky bacon.
Next, add the sliced cucumber and tomatoes and finish with sliced pickled gherkins or, in my case, homemade cucumber pickle.
I served the Turkey sandwich with extra mustard mayonnaise, cucumber pickles, and pickled beetroot. You can serve it whatever with your favourite accompaniments.

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!!)
Thanks, Ceri, I totally agree. I love leftovers.
Love that you’ve made this in a baguette! More sandwiches should be made with proper crusty bread. Yum!
Thanks Emma, yes it’s a sourdough baguette and was really good.
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!
Thanks, Cat. You can’t beat a good sandwich
