Leftover Turkey Sandwich

Even though Thanksgiving was a couple weeks ago I thought I would post this sandwich recipe. Many people may be cooking another turkey for the upcoming holidays. You could use sliced deli turkey meat if you really want to, but its not as good. Or, roast a turkey breast on the weekend and use it throughout the week in sandwiches, rather than deli meats.

I like the combination of salty blue cheese, spicy arugula, vinegary mustard and sweet-tart cranberry sauce – all these ingredients add pizazz and pop to the turkey. The swirl rye adds a nice gentle savory flavor and works well with the blue cheese.  It sounds crazy, but it’s so good.
