Boxing Day turkey toastie

Not yet rated

A sandwich filled with leftovers on Boxing Day often surpasses Christmas dinner itself, and this Boxing Day toasted sandwich recipe from Alyn Williams makes the most of any excess. The chef recommends very finely sliced turkey for the sandwich, which is delicious when layered up with all of the other ingredients.
