French Dip Hot Turkey Sandwiches
Report
This hot turkey sandwich is so easy to make, and the whole family will love it! You can use leftover turkey from your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner or buy some sliced deli turkey. These are similar to a french dip sandwich - sliced meat, fried onions, and optional cheese all stuffed into bread and then dipped into your own individual pot of gravy. So good!

Notes
- You can use any onions you have on hand. White, brown, or red will all work. Chicken, turkey, or vegetable broth will work. If you don't have broth, you can use water with some salt or better than bouillion dissolved into it. Use leftover dark or white turkey. Or buy thick slices of turkey from the deli counter at the grocery store. We prefer thick sliced country loaf, but you can use hoagie rolls or french baguette. You can toast the bread if you like. You can use any cheese you like here. If you have leftover cheese from a cheese board, then use what you have. See the bulk of the post for suggestions on cheeses. Use up your leftover gravy; thin it with some of the broth used to heat the turkey if it is too thick for dipping. If you need to make fresh gravy, I have a quick recipe below.
