Leftover crock pot turkey croissant

Leftover Crock Pot Turkey Croissant

We didn't have much of this yummy turkey left but we did have enough for a few sandwiches and they wer quite good.

Heres what we used.. 

Leftover turkey breast
Croissant
Light provolone cheese
Mayo
Onion
Lettuce
Tomato
Bacon
Or any sandwich topping you like

I cut my croissant down the middle horizontally and then microwaved it a few seconds just to get the croissant buttery and a little moist. Its easier to cut it open before warming since its slightly stiffer. Then i put just a small amount of mayo on the bottom part of the croissant but you can use as much or as little if you like. You can mix some garlic powder and chilli powder into the mayo too for a more complex taste... just a dash of each. Place your cheese on top of the mayo. Then chop your turkey, pull it apart with your hands or thinly slice it. We only had some bits and pieces of our turkey left so i just pulled it apart with my hands.
Then just top with whatever you may like red onion, lettuce, tomato, bacon, anything you like. Cut down the middle and serve! We had some peaches and pita crackers on the side.

Here's one of the boys sandwiches so it doesn't have any toppings.

Do you like our finest china??? Yes, its Styrofoam plates today for us haha.

Weeknight thanksgiving in the crock pot

Crock pot turkey!

Ok so who doesn't love a delicious meal they can stick in the crock pot in the morning and have ready for them by dinner time? And even better its light! I used a boneless turkey breast but only because the smallest whole turkey i could find at my market was 15 lbs and i definitely don't need that much leftover turkey. But anyway you can get whichever you prefer.

Turkey breast or small whole turkey
1/2 C chicken broth Largely chopped onion 3 celery stalks chopped into 3 in pieces
onion soup mix
3 cloves chopped garlic
2 Tbs melted butter

Put chicken broth in bottom of crock pot top with onions, celery and garlic. Rinse your turkey and rub with onion soup mix (if you have the breast leave netting on until cooked) and then place in crock pot. Pour the melted butter over your turkey and place the lid on. Cook on high 1 hour and on low 7 hours remove and enjoy!
Leftovers are great for sandwiches.
