Print Recipe

Ingredients

2 buns (or 4 slices of your favourite sandwich bread)
3 cups shredded cooked leftover turkey (measure after shredding)
1/2 cup buffalo sauce
1 cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
8 dill pickle slices
8 tablespoons ranch dressing
leaf lettuce, optional
sliced tomatoes, optional

Instructions

Transfer the shredded turkey meat to a bowl and toss to coat well with the buffalo sauce. Set aside.
In small skillet over medium-low heat, melt the shredded cheese until completely smooth. Gently stir the cheese with a rubber spatula to prevent burning or crisping. If the cheese starts to bubble, lower the heat. Once the cheese if fully melted, turn off the heat and set aside.
Next, smear the bottom portion of each sandwich bun with two tablespoons each of the ranch dressing.
If you are adding lettuce and tomato to your sandwich, go ahead and add the lettuce leaves and tomato slices on top of the ranch dressing now. Follow that with half of the buffalo shredded turkey.
Spoon half of the melted cheese over top of the turkey and top with four dill pickle slices.
Smear the top buns with the remaining ranch dressing and place it on the sandwich. Serve immediately with kettle chips on the side.
