Leftover Turkey Monte Cristo

leftover turkey monte cristo sandwich

What’s better than French toast for breakfast and club sandwich for lunch?  Have them together…anytime! Delicious way to use leftover turkey or any cold cuts from the fridge. 

You can use whatever bread you have on hand but using a traditional Pullman bread (square loaf, no rounded top) or one of our delish bread recipes that are easy to make in the galley, so that you can make extra-thick slices is the best way to go. But whatever bread you use, you can’t go wrong with this tasty, filling sandwich. 

INGREDIENTS

  • 6 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk
  • Coarse salt
  • White pepper (prettier than black but use black if that is all you have)
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce or jelly
  • 8 slices of white bread, cut 3/4-inch thick 
  • 12 oz turkey, thinly sliced

    • Top each with 1/4 of the turkey
    • Lightly season with salt and pepper.
    • Layer 1/4 of the cheese over the turkey on each sandwich.
