With Thanksgiving leftovers, you are bound to be making some kind of turkey sandwich. I’ve got you covered with this Monster Turkey Gobbler Sandwich. You've probably seen this before, but I'm taking all my favorites from my Thanksgiving feast and making a sandwich out of it. The best results involve using a high-quality bread in my opinion so I've reached for Iggy's Bakery once again. Their focaccia rolls are perfect for my monster turkey gobbler sandwich. Ciabatta rolls are great for this too!
the lowdown on a budget-friendly thanksgiving dinner
Welcome to my Thanksgiving Series! I made a whole Thanksgiving feast for about $95 and it serves 8-10 people. You’ll probably still have some leftovers too! I bought a whopping 19 ½ pound turkey and economized as much as I could to keep this under $100. I know staying on a budget is important. This was my first Thanksgiving as a food blogger and I hope to add new Turkey Day recipes each year. The dinner here is a budget-friendly, beginner-friendly option.
All the Thanksgiving Series Essentials:
- Thanksgiving Turkey & Gravy
- Fantastic No-Frills Mashed Potatoes
- Easy Pepperidge Farm Stuffing with Apples & Celery
- Steamed Brussel Sprouts w/Toasted Pine Nuts & Bacon Bits
- Sautéed Butternut Squash with Caramelized Leeks & Thyme
- Killer Apple Pie with Butter Crust
Start with the standard turkey gobbler, then make it your own
You may opt for the standard turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce sandwich and that's it. You've made a great choice! Perhaps you'll slather a little mayonnaise on there as well. I'm not a mayo eater and the cranberry sauce, for me, is the condiment for the sandwich. For this take on the Thanksgiving leftover sandwich, I LOVE a razor thin onion and alfalfa sprouts. Oh yeah, that, and really great bread from Iggy's Bread of the World. This is a fantastic bakery in Cambridge, MA. If you can, get to your local bakery and use high-quality bread for this one. It makes all the difference.

Instructions
- Slice the onion very, very thin. I used a mandolin, but if you don't have that just use a good knife and slice the onions as thin as possible. Put on a plate.
- I love using alfalfa sprouts so I put some of those on the plate with the onions to be ready to assemble.
- Toast your rolls. Using high quality bread is so important and pushes the flavors over the top! Try to use local bakery bread like ciabatta or foccacia rolls.
- Add as much turkey as you want to the bottom of the roll. Even when you think it's too much turkey - add more. See my video for assembly.
- Grab a blob of stuffing and shape it into a circular patty to fit the shape of the roll. Then place on top of turkey.
- Add your razor thin onions on top of the stuffing layer.
- Next, add the alfalfa sprouts on top of the onions.
- Carefully spoon the cranberry sauce over the sprouts.
- Add the top to the sandwich and with a good sharp knife (serrated if you have), cut the sandwich in half. Enjoy!!
