A recipe from Thanksgiving Day leftovers. I try not to waste anything. So, this is a different sandwich I came up with using cranberry sauce, applesauce, turkey, and gravy. Even leftover dinner rolls can be used to make sliders.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Oh, what a delicious way to enjoy your turkey, gravy, and cranberry sauce leftovers. The shredded turkey absorbs the smoky and sweet sauce. You will love this so much, you'll make it year-round. We can't wait to make these easy sandwiches again.
