Steps:

• Mustard Horseradish Sauce -- Just mix the mayo, horseradish, mustard, honey, apple juice, and thyme. Add to a small bowl, cover and refrigerate. Done. You can easily make this ahead.
• Apple Au Jus -- In a small pot, add the broth, apple juice, honey, Lipton seasoning and bring to a boil. Stir well and immediately reduce and simmer until it naturally thickens. About 5 minutes. This can easily be made and ahead and just reheated right in the microwave on on the stove.
• Onions and Apples -- In a small saute pan, add the butter and bring to medium heat. Add the onions, apples and pinch of salt and saute for 3-5 minutes until the onions and apples are soft, but not "mush." Season with a little pepper and set to the side as you make the sandwiches.
• Rolls -- As the onions and apples saute, put the rolls inside facing up under the broiler and toast very lightly. Keep the broiler on.
• Sandwich -- Spread the bottom bun with a little of the dressing. Then dip the turkey slices in the warm au jus, just to get a little juice on it and layer on the sandwich. Top with the warm onions and apples and 2 slices of the cheese. Put under the broiler for just a minute until the cheese melts. Top with the other roll, also slathered with the dressing.

LEFTOVER TURKEY TURNOVERS WITH A CRANBERRY DIP

Steps:

• Sauce -- Mix everything; cranberry, pear, shallot, seasoning and cider in a small sauce pan and just simmer on low. Will take around 20 minutes for the pear to soften. Just stir now and then, nothing more. Just let it hang out on low heat. This is your dip.
• Turkey -- In a small saute pan, add the butter and bring to medium high heat. Add the shallot and cook 1 minute, then add the scallions, nuts and turkey and cook another 2 minutes until heated through. Remove and let cool slightly before you fill your turnovers.
• Turnovers -- You can use a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray, but I prefer to use parchment paper for no clean up. Heat the oven to 375.
• Crescent Rolls -- Roll out both cans of crescent rolls on the parchment paper or on the baking sheet. I like to use my rolling pin and roll, just until the seams are pressed together and it resembles one large sheet. You will have two flat sheets. Cut each sheet with a pizza cutter or a knife; the top left corner to the bottom right corner corner and vice versa to make 4 large triangles per sheet. Two (2) cans will give you 8 triangles.
• Filling -- Spread the Boursin or herbed cheese on each triangle in the center and then place a couple of tablespoons of the turkey mix on top of that and bring the corners up to the center and press together. I just crimp together in the middle and sort of make like a small package. No exact method.
• Brush with the beaten egg and cook 15-18 minutes on the baking sheet until golden brown.
• Serve -- Once golden brown, just serve with the warm cranberry sauce for dipping and a nice bowl of soup for an easy midweek dinner. ENJOY!
