So I promised a recipe for the open-faced turkey sandwiches that Mike requested of me the other day. I debated whether I should post it or not, because it needed some changes for me to really give it my stamp of approval. But I can say that it was an uber easy meal that came together in less than 15 minutes with no work on my end. On top of that, the ingredients for the entire meal cost a whopping $8.47 for the two of us, and that includes a whole loaf of bread. If you know me, you know I'm a sucker for savings. Coupons literally make me squeal like a baby. The more money I save, the nicer I am. If I'm being super nice to you, it's possible that I really think you're great, but it might be that I just bought a great groupon.
So this is everything I used:
 |
Turkey Breast: $3.59 Loaf of Whole Wheat Bread: $2.99 Gravy: $0.89 Corn Cobs (2): + $1.00 $8.47 |
Here is my disclaimer. This was way too salty for my tastes, and I love salt. I think it was mostly the carving board turkey. If you have any chicken or turkey breast leftovers, definitely warm it up and use that. I am such a red meat kind of girl, and I pretty much cook bird only when it is requested of me, so if you're the same, look for a low-sodium version of thick sliced turkey (or chicken) at the deli. Also, the gravy comes in a low-sodium version as well, but they didn't carry it in the store where we happened to be shopping. I'd recommend going low-sodium for both of them, and just adding your own salt if it's not enough, because packages products tend to be so overloaded with it to begin with.
Other than that, this definitely does the job of open-faced turkey sandwich! I put the corn on the cob in a pot of water, boiled it for a few minutes, then turned it on low while I finished everything else. I cooked the gravy according to the package, toasted the bread, warmed the turkey up in the microwave, and threw it all together.
