Ingredients
- 4 4 large eggs
- 2 2 teaspoons butter
- 2 2 dinner rolls cut in half
- 1 1 cup leftover turkey
- ¼ ¼ cup cranberry sauce this is our FAVORITE recipe!
- 1 1 cup arugula can sub spinach or baby greens
- ¼ ¼ cup gravy warmed
- Chopped green onions and black pepper to serve
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.
