Picture yourself at Thanksgiving dinner, where everyone would gather once a year, enjoying a scrumptious meal and taking time off to catch up with one another.Post-thanksgiving: you have a large portion of leftover turkey, and what are you to do with it? Throwing them out would be a waste, eating cold turkey for the next meal would be bland. Here’s something you could do with your leftover turkey meat to whip up a meal that is healthy and appetising!
As the title itself holds, Cheese Turkey Combo = Cheese + Turkey. A combination of these two ingredients can create a lot of dishes, e.g. cream cheese turkey salad, turkey cheese sandwiches, cheesy turkey gravy and etcetera.Nevertheless, here is an easy Cheese Turkey Combo Sandwiches recipe that can spark up some cooking ideas in your kitchen with turkey meat!

Directions:

Top up with lettuces, tomatoes and avocados as desired. Spread on some mustard and mayonnaise on the other half of the sandwich bread and place on top to complete the sandwich!
- Add a dill pickle as a side (or just add it to your sandwich!).
