Try Emeril's "The Rachel" sandwich made with leftover turkey, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing.
Ingredients
Cooking Directions
Position an oven rack in the center and preheat the oven to 350°F.
Arrange the bread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread 2
tablespoons of the Russian dressing on each of 4 bread slices. For each sandwich,
layer 2 slices of the cheese on top of the dressing, then layer 3 slices of the turkey
on top of the cheese. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and cook until the bread
is slightly toasted, the turkey is warmed, and the cheese is completely melted,
about 6 minutes.
Remove from the oven and carefully transfer the sandwiches and the toast to a
work surface. Divide the slaw evenly among the turkey-topped slices, and then top
with the remaining toast. Serve immediately.
For the jicama:
In a medium bowl, combine the jicama, chayote, red onion, bell pepper, jalapeños, mayonnaise, buttermilk, lime juice, Dijon mustard, salt, sugar, and cayenne. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
Note: If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar to 1 cup whole milk. Stir to blend and set aside until thickened and creamy, usually about 5 minutes; then use as needed.
