More Turkey Sandwich Ideas

If you were smart, you set aside just a little of that Thanksgiving turkey so you have a sandwich for lunch at work today or tomorrow.  But even if you didn't, these ideas are great ways to kick up a plain old turkey sandwich. Thanks to Food Network magazine for the inspiration...
