Best Stuffing Waffle Open Faced Leftover Turkey Sandwich Aka The Greatest Leftover Thanksgiving Sandwich In The World Of All Time Recipes

LEFTOVER STUFFING WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron to medium high. Generously brush the top and bottom of the iron with oil.
• Combine the stuffing, parsley and eggs in a medium bowl. Evenly and firmly pack the waffle iron with some of the stuffing mixture. Close the iron and cook until the waffle is golden and can be lifted out easily, 4 to 6 minutes. Repeat with the remaining stuffing mixture.
• Transfer each waffle to a plate, top with a scoop of mashed potatoes and then cover with gravy; finish with a dollop of cranberry sauce.

OPEN-FACED WAFFLE CORNBREAD STUFFING SANDWICHES WITH TURKEY, BRIE AND BACON

Steps:

• For the bacon: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put the bacon on a baking sheet and roast until crisp, about 15 minutes. Set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• For the cranberry Dijon mayo: Whisk the cranberry relish together with the mayonnaise and mustard in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the cornbread waffles: Preheat a waffle maker. Put a rack on a baking sheet.
• In a large bowl, stir together the leftover stuffing, eggs, parsley and sage. Add 1/4 cup of the chicken broth and mix until well combined. Continue adding chicken broth as needed until the mixture is well moistened--it should just hold together in your hand. Season with salt and pepper.
• Using about 1/2 cup per waffle, shape the stuffing mixture into fat round patties; they should be smaller than the waffle grids.
• Spray the waffle maker with some nonstick spray, then add the stuffing patties and close the lid. Let the waffles cook until golden brown, crispy and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. (The waffle maker should stop steaming when the waffles are cooked through.) Remove the waffles to the rack on the baking sheet, and repeat with the remaining waffle mixture.
• Put a few slices of Brie on each waffle, transfer to the oven, and warm just to melt the cheese a bit, about 5 minutes.
• For the turkey: Meanwhile, bring about 1 cup of broth to a simmer in a large skillet. Add the turkey and heat until just warmed through, about 5 minutes.
• For the eggs: Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the eggs and fry until the whites are set and the yolks still runny, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• To assemble: Dollop some of the cranberry Dijon mayonnaise on top of each waffle. Top with some warm turkey, then some bacon, and finally an egg. Serve immediately.

STUFFING WAFFLE OPEN-FACED LEFTOVER TURKEY SANDWICH (AKA THE GREATEST LEFTOVER THANKSGIVING SANDWICH IN THE WORLD OF ALL TIME)

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron. I use a mini, round waffle maker, that works best for stacking.
• In a large mixing bowl, add 1/2 cup of the stock to the stuffing at a time until the mixture is wet but not liquid; it should have the consistency of meatball mix and should be able to be rolled into a ball.
• Lightly oil or spray a waffle iron and, depending on shape/size of mold, place a nice-size disc of wet stuffing onto the hot waffle iron. Cook until golden brown and crispy, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove and repeat if leftover stuffing mix remains.
• Heat the gravy in a small saucepot. Take off the heat and place slices of the cold turkey in the hot gravy to reheat and rehydrate.
• Make a tower with a layer of the stuffing waffle schmeared with cranberry sauce. Top with a couple slices of warm gravy-kissed turkey, then a nice sprinkling of crispy bacon. Top with a single sunny-side up egg and garnish with the crispy sage, sea salt and cracked black pepper.

WAFFLED LEFTOVER THANKSGIVING BRUNCH

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Combine the stuffing, parsley and eggs. Generously brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with oil. Evenly and firmly pack each section of the waffle iron full with the stuffing mixture. Close and cook until golden and the waffles can easily be lifted out of the waffle iron, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the gravy in a small saucepan. Once the waffles are ready, top each with as much turkey as you want and close the waffle iron. Cook until the turkey is warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Transfer the waffles to 4 plates and top each with as much gravy and cranberry sauce as you'd like.

LEFTOVER STUFFING WAFFLES

Steps:

• Brush plates of a rectangular waffle iron with melted butter and preheat to medium-high heat.
• Combine stock, rubbed sage, and ground black pepper in a bowl. Add egg and stir briskly until ingredients are well blended. Stir in leftover stuffing. The batter should be thick and coarse.
• Spoon batter over the preheated waffle iron, spreading it out evenly close to the lid.
• Cook on medium-high heat until the waffles are browned and release from the waffle iron, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

BEST THANKSGIVING LEFTOVERS SANDWICH

Steps:

• Grease a 8- or 9-inch square baking pan with butter, then line it with parchment paper, covering the bottom and 2 sides with one sheet, creasing it into the corners to ensure a snug fit. If the stuffing is cold, warm it in the microwave for 1 minute or covered in a 350-degree oven for 15 minutes.
• Put the stuffing into the prepared pan and press into an even layer using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon. Top with a sheet of parchment and press firmly with your hands, tightly compacting the stuffing. If you have a second pan of the same size, use that to pack down the stuffing. Cover and chill overnight.
• The next day, prepare your sandwich fillings: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and cranberry sauce. Set aside.
• In a small saucepan, combine the shredded dark-meat turkey and the gravy. Gently heat over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
• In a large nonstick skillet or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-high, warm the oil until hot and shimmering. (The stuffing needs to be cooked hot and fast, or it will stick to the skillet and fall apart.) Meanwhile, remove the stuffing from the pan by lifting the parchment overhang, and cut the stuffing into four squares.
• Cook stuffing until browned and crisp on one side, gently pressing it down using the base of the baking pan you chilled it in, about 1 minute. Using a flat spatula, quickly flip each piece of stuffing. Cook the other side until browned and crisp, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate.
• In the same skillet, melt the 2 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat until foamy. Add the sliced turkey breast, flipping occasionally until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Assemble the sandwiches: Evenly spread 2 tablespoons of cranberry mayonnaise on 1 side of each slice of bread. Divide the buttery sliced turkey over the 4 slices of bread. Divide half the assorted leftovers on top of the white meat, then top each with a slab of crisp stuffing.
• On top of the crisp stuffing, evenly divide the gravy-dressed dark meat and the remaining assorted leftovers. Top with remaining mayo-slathered bread. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut each sandwich on the diagonal and serve right away.
