The next few videos after Thanksgiving,
0:06
I'm sharing with y'all ways to use up
0:09
that leftover turkey,
0:12
because sometimes just reheating it,
0:18
I started with a minestrone soup and it was incredible.
0:24
Make sure, and it's easy,
0:25
so make sure you get a hold
0:28
of that very first leftover turkey recipe.
0:32
And the second recipe I'm gone share with y'all
0:38
Now this really brings back memories,
0:41
because I used to make as a special,
0:46
in the Best Western so many years ago,
0:50
we were there from 1991 to '96,
0:55
when we got our location Downtown opened.
1:00
But the restaurant was just called the Lady then.
1:03
And we still ran the Bag Lady
1:06
but it was two separate names.
1:10
So, people really enjoyed my version
1:12
of a Monte Cristo back then.
1:14
So, I wanna share with y'all what I'm fixing to do.
1:18
Now, you know, I have trouble following my own recipes.
1:25
So, if you look this recipe up,
1:28
you ain't gone see mayonnaise nowhere.
1:32
But, I just like the idea of a little mayonnaise
1:37
being on that bread to help everything stick together.
1:42
This is mayonnaise, not butter, y'all.
1:46
The butter is coming though.
1:50
The butter is a coming.
1:53
So, this will just kinda give everything,
1:57
all of our ingredients something to hang on to.
2:03
Because we're gonna be putting Fontina cheese next,
2:14
on each slice of bread.
2:22
And I sure do love Fontina.
2:26
But you know what, if you don't like it,
2:29
you don't have to use Fontina.
2:30
You use your favorite cheese.
2:38
just a list of ingredients that you can change.
2:48
So, the next thing is,
2:50
two slices of turkey.
2:54
And I think that I am going to.
3:17
That looks like really good.
3:21
This is gone be a big sandwich, y'all.
3:25
So, I hope you got a big mouth
3:39
for turkey sandwiches, I really prefer using the white meat,
3:44
but I also love the dark meat.
3:49
Love, love, love the dark meat.
3:52
So, you can make it with whatever you like.
3:58
- [Theresa] Does the one at the very end not get anything?
3:59
- Oh, what about this turkey right here?
4:03
We was about to miss this turkey.
4:07
Look at that, I sliced that turkey just right, didn't I?
4:12
I measured it just enough.
4:15
Okay, I'm gone start pressing those down now.
4:19
And then I'm gonna add,
4:25
supposed to be two tablespoons,
4:26
but I'm gone do like one heaping.
4:34
This is gone be really good, y'all.
4:38
A fun way to use up that leftover turkey.
4:46
And certainly different from
4:51
just making a plain old sandwich.
4:54
- [Theresa] And your cranberry relish.
4:56
- Yes, and your cranberry relish
4:58
is so, so good on it.
5:02
Now, the next thing we're gonna put on
5:21
Gotta have some vegetables in all this stuff.
5:30
And then the last thing
5:32
is a little more cheese.
5:38
I'm just making two sandwiches, y'all,
5:41
because they're huge.
5:49
And I forgot to talk about the,
5:56
Now, you wanna get down it, honey.
6:00
my cranberry sauce is coming everywhere.
6:05
You want it, you really wanna mash it good.
6:06
Now, I didn't talk to ya about the bread.
6:08
You can use any kinda nice, soft bread.
6:13
We are using a potato bread for ours,
6:23
what is that, challah?
6:26
Yeah, I can't ever get that name square in my head.
6:31
So, the next thing we're gonna do
6:35
is mix together our eggs,
6:40
milk, and a little touch of nutmeg.
6:48
already put into the milk.
6:50
So, just gonna beat that up real good.
6:56
And I've got our skillet over here heating up,
7:01
and I'm gone drop a little butter in it.
7:04
Now, you're probably gone wind up having to
7:13
the sandwich has to have something to actually fry in.
7:19
And so, it's gone need that butter.
7:24
All right, I've mashed these down 'bout as
7:31
And we're gonna just dip those
7:42
Our egg and milk bath.
7:55
I wonder, I think I'll just do like this,
7:59
and make sure it gets,
8:02
soaks up all that good meat.
8:09
Make sure that the sandwich soaks up
8:11
all that good egg mixture.
8:17
We gone have to turn up our stove
8:25
So, now remember, everything is,
8:29
everything is done in our sandwich,
8:34
so it's not gonna require a whole bunch of cooking,
8:40
but we do want it pretty and brown.
8:47
Now, when I used to make these at the Best Western,
8:53
I would put 'em in the deep fryer.
8:57
Oh my gosh, that works so good, y'all.
9:06
Okay, I'm just gone clean up a minute,
9:10
'cause I've actually kinda made a mess.
9:16
Theresa's actually shooting this video for us, y'all.
9:23
And look how beautiful.
9:25
Look how beautiful those are.
9:27
And you see the way I'm tilting my pan around?
9:31
Because I want all the egg
9:34
to get cooked that's on the side of it,
9:37
like on the side of the toast.
9:42
So, Theresa, I think it's,
9:45
let's see what this other side looks like.
9:54
Look at that, that sandwich weighs a pound.
9:58
I know it weighs at least a pound.
10:08
gone go bananas when they see this sandwich?
10:13
That is so beautiful.
10:17
Now, I just need a knife,
10:20
to be able to cut into it.
10:34
- [Theresa] Oh my gosh,
10:37
Look at that, y'all.
11:04
would take powdered sugar,
11:19
since it's kinda like French toast,
11:22
some people would do that to it.
11:28
That's your discretion.
11:30
Whatever you want to do.
11:32
But you have to admit, y'all,
11:35
that this is one beautiful sandwich,
11:39
and a great way to use up that leftover turkey.
11:48
I think we ought to taste, don't you Theresa?
11:49
- [Theresa] Of course.
11:52
- Beautiful golden brown turkey.
12:15
So, I gave you the basics
12:18
for my Monte Cristo,
12:21
but put the things that you like on.
12:23
If you like Swiss cheese, use Swiss.
12:26
If you like mustard,
12:27
a grainy mustard, put mustard on it.
12:34
But I can tell you what right now,
12:35
this combination ain't bad.
12:39
So, let's get rid of the turkey.
12:44
We getting rid of it, honey.
12:47
Love and best dishes.
