Okay…..I have a confession…..I’m just slightly, semi-obsessed with the Roasted Turkey sandwich from Five Loaves.  What’s that you ask? Why only an amazing mouth-watering medley of roasted turkey sliced to perfection, herbed cream cheese spread, lettuce, tomatoes and cranberry sauce nestled betwixt two slices of multigrain bread………[cue the harps] 

Who am I kidding? I am TOTALLY obsessed with the Roasted Turkey sandwich at Five Loaves.

 Imagine my excitement when I discover a semi-copycat recipe that not only excites my taste buds BUT allows me to utilize the plethora of leftover turkey after Thanksgiving.   Let’s be honest, there’s always a TON of turkey remaining and there’s only so many plain old turkey sandwiches you can make. 

Why not try spicing things up a bit?  I adore this recipe as it is wholesome yet low calorie, a mere 317 calories per serving.  Say hello to your new best friend……..don’t worry, you can thank me later.  Happy Thanksgiving!
