This turkey sandwich is the perfect thing for your Thanksgiving leftovers!
One thing I always have leftovers of is turkey. I don’t usually like to eat it by itself because it gets a little dry the next day.
My turkey sandwich adds cheese and cranberry sauce, which helps make the turkey not as dry.
This is a filling sandwich!! It’s only 4 points for blue and purple, 6 points for green.
One way I lightened up the sandwich was by using Sara Lee 45 calorie multi-grain bread. It is only 1 point per slice with Weight Watchers blue, which is the plan I follow.
I have also used one point bread to make a Tuna Melt and Patty Melt.
I use I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Spray instead of regular butter. I do 3 sprays on one side of each slice of bread. It’s 0 points on all 3 plans.
To lighten up the cheese points I used Sargento ultra thin Swiss cheese.
It’s only 2 points for one slice of cheese. It’s a great way to get the taste of cheese without all of the points.
Sargento also has ultra thin provolone and cheddar cheese.
I also added arugula and cranberry sauce to the sandwich. The cranberry sauce can be high in points, so I only used 1 tablespoon.
Overall it’s an easy sandwich to make and perfect for Thanksgiving leftovers!
