- 1 biscuit, bun, dinner roll, toast, or English muffin
- 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce
- 1/2 cup warm mashed potatoes
- 2–3 ounces warm turkey slices
- 1 egg (poached, fried, or scrambled)
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Take your biscuit, bun, dinner roll, toast, or English muffin and slice it in half if not already sliced. This forms the hearty base and top for your sandwich.
- Add Cranberry Sauce: Spread a generous layer of cranberry sauce evenly on one half of the biscuit or bun. This adds a beautiful sweetness and tartness that balances the savory flavors.
- Layer Mashed Potatoes: Spoon warm mashed potatoes directly on top of the cranberry sauce. The creamy texture adds a comforting richness to the sandwich.
- Place Turkey: Add a small slice or two of warm turkey on top of the mashed potatoes, ensuring it’s evenly distributed to enjoy the savory meat in every bite.
- Top with Egg: Cook your egg to preference—poached, fried, or scrambled—and place it atop the turkey layer. The egg adds a satisfying protein boost and richness.
- Assemble and Serve: Place the other half of the biscuit or bun on top to complete the sandwich. Serve immediately and enjoy this warm, flavorful leftover breakfast treat!
