Description

This delicious Thanksgiving Leftover Breakfast Sandwich combines all your favorite holiday flavors into one hearty morning meal. Featuring a warm biscuit or bun layered with tangy cranberry sauce, creamy mashed potatoes, savory turkey slices, and a perfectly cooked egg, this sandwich transforms leftover ingredients into a satisfying and flavorful breakfast to start your day.


Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Base

  • 1 biscuit, bun, dinner roll, toast, or English muffin

Fillings

  • 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce
  • ½ cup warm mashed potatoes
  • 2–3 ounces warm turkey slices
  • 1 egg (poached, fried, or scrambled)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the sandwich base: Take your biscuit, bun, dinner roll, toast, or English muffin and slice it in half if it is not already sliced. This will form the hearty base and top of your sandwich.
  2. Spread cranberry sauce: Evenly spread a generous 2-tablespoon layer of cranberry sauce on one half of the biscuit or bun. This adds a sweet and tart flavor that balances the savory ingredients.
  3. Add mashed potatoes: Spoon ½ cup of warm mashed potatoes directly on top of the cranberry sauce. The creamy texture brings comforting richness to the sandwich.
  4. Layer turkey slices: Place 2 to 3 ounces of warm turkey slices evenly over the mashed potatoes to ensure a savory bite in every mouthful.
  5. Cook and add egg: Cook one egg to your preference—poached, fried, or scrambled—and place it atop the turkey layer. The egg adds protein and richness to the sandwich.
  6. Assemble and serve: Place the other half of the biscuit or bun on top to complete the sandwich. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy this delicious leftover breakfast treat.

Notes

  • You can use any bread of your choice such as toast, English muffin, or dinner roll to suit your preference.
  • Leftover mashed potatoes and turkey should be warmed before assembling the sandwich for the best flavor and texture.
  • Feel free to customize the sandwich with additional toppings like cheese or greens if desired.
  • Egg can be cooked in whichever style you prefer to suit your taste.
