Turkey-Curtido Sandwiches image

My family makes these sandwiches with the leftovers of our Salvadorian Roast Turkey. The sandwiches are really messy, but really yummy, and totally worth the work.

Ingredients

½ head cabbage, finely shredded
2 carrots, peeled and shredded
½ onion, thinly sliced lengthwise
1 teaspoon crumbled dried oregano
½ cup mayonnaise, or to taste
8 large crusty rolls, halved and lightly toasted
½ cup mayonnaise
2 pounds leftover roast turkey meat, shredded
16 thin slices ripe tomato
½ cucumber, thinly sliced
8 radishes, sliced

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Turn off heat and stir in cabbage and carrots; let stand for 2 minutes then drain in a colander. Rinse well with cold water, then squeeze dry.
Place shredded cabbage and carrots into a large bowl along with the onion, oregano, and mayonnaise. Mix together until you have a mixture resembling coleslaw. This is the curtido.
To prepare sandwiches, lightly spread each roll with mayonnaise and pile with shredded turkey. Place a scoop of curtido on top of the turkey, and finish with sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and radishes.
