Instructions

Bring a large pot of water (half full) to a simmer. Crack the eggs into the water and let them cook for 4 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon.
While the water is warming, melt the butter in a medium-sized pan over medium-high heat. Place the dinner rolls in the pan, cut side down, and toast for 3-4 minutes. Remove them from the pan and put 2 halves on each plate.
Add the turkey to the pan and gently warm. Top the toasted dinner rolls with some arugula, the warmed turkey, and the cranberry sauce.
Plate the eggs when they are cooked, pour the gravy over the top, then sprinkle with some green onions and black pepper.

Notes

This eggs benedict is very flexible and more of a concept than a recipe. Gather your leftovers, pile them on top of a toasted bun, pop a poached egg on top, and pour on some gravy. The quantities listed are only suggestions. Use what you have and as much or little of each as you like.
