Turkey BLT By Kelly Miller • November24,2014 • Updated January 4, 2022 • 9 Comments 720 Jump to Recipe This Turkey BLT recipe takes the typical BLT to the next level with leftover roasted turkey, bacon, and a Dijon mayo spread! I am absolutely, positively BORING when it comes to turkey leftovers. Don’t believe me? Cut up turkey with mayo on bread. That’s it. Sometimes I don’t even cut the sandwich. I told you, it’s boring – but it’s my favorite way to enjoy turkey leftovers. I think it’s because turkey tends to be dry. And then leftover turkey tends to be really REALLY dry. I guess the best way my tastebuds like to combat this issues is to give it lots of mayo. I don’t know what to say, it just works! I suppose you could just shred the turkey and add mayo to make a turkey salad. It’s not the same, though. You need that real fresh turkey flavor with the moist spread and the crusty bread. Oh, and I pretty much have to have sweet potatoes next to it. Because I have to. 🙂 I think I need to revise my statement above, though. It USED to be my favorite way to enjoy turkey leftovers. That is until this Turkey BLT walked into my life. OH MAN this takes the boring turkey sandwich to a whole new level! You know why? Because this. Yep, bacon. Let’s try turkey, topped with crispy bacon strips, sliced tomato, spring mix, and cheddar with a Dijon mayo spread and melted to perfection. How does that sound? YEP, that’s what I thought – this sandwich is amazing! Add to that all your favorite side dishes from the Thanksgiving feast and you have one amazing meal. But really, add bacon and cheddar to anything right? 🙂 BUT, you HAVE to start with this yummy melt first. I’m not sure you’ll need another idea for your leftover turkey again!
