Do you like them? Do you eat them? But more importantly, what do you put on them? I’m a traditionalist: cold sandwich, turkey, stuffing, cranberries, s&p, mayo. Perhaps a bit of lettuce if there’s room. The bread can be white or wheat, but has to be fresh and soft. Maybe some pickles on the side. How’s about you? ---

Sourdough, cheddar or Swiss, mayo, dash of poultry seasoning. ---

Definitely NO DRESSING!! Gah! By the day after I am so sick of dressing I never want to see it again (until next Thanksgiving). Turkey, mayo, cranberry sauce, cheese, and some pepper flake on sourdough. ---

White bread toasted, slices of turkey breast cold, mayo (actually Miracle Whip), lettuce and cheese. Oh yeah, a little salt on the turkey. Do I like them… I’d happily forgo the main dinner just to have a week of these. ---

Usually just turkey and bread, though I’ll occasionally include stuffing. ---

White meat, wheat bread, mayo, salt and pepper. I don’t like messy sandwiches, so no cranberries or stuffing. ---

Cold, white bread (might be toasted or untoasted), mayo, and turkey. Lettuce and tomato are optional. I don’t like cheese on my turkey sandwich. I like turkey sandwiches so much that I usually go through half a pound of smoked turkey a week. The cats say that I can go ahead and get a full pound, and they will eat up anything that I can’t finish. ---

Cold turkey, toasted or untoasted \*bread, with butter, salt and pepper and Keen’s hot mustard. I usually never, ever eat white bread. All my sandwiches for work, etc. are on multigrain; however there’s something very different about fresh turkey, and I love having it on white bread, especially toasted. ---

I liked them so much as a child that I now make a Tofurkey roast on Thanksgiving mostly so I can slice it and make sandwiches later. I warm a little stuffing up and layer cold Tofurkey slices, stuffing, Swiss cheese slices, and whole-berry cranberry sauce on home-made wheat bread. I’ll sometimes put a little mayo or butter on the bread, too. ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > Do you like them? Do you eat them? But more importantly, what do you put on them? I eat them frequently all year round as sliced turkey is the go-to sandwich filling at this house. Wheat bread, lettuce, mayo. If I’m feeling really wild I’ll add something like cucumbers, green peppers, pickles, and/or olives. ---

Warm, but not open face. I heat up the necessary ingredients, then put them onto the leftover dinner rolls. In a perfect world, I’d have some turkey, stuffin, bit of greenbean casserole and cranberry sauce. ---

On toasted rye, with mayo, pickle on the side. ---

I liked left-over turkey sandwiches so much that when I stopped liking the actual turkey, I became willing to eat non-food just to make a similar sandwich! ---

> [@Baker](#): > > 😃 I love a good smart ass response! Actually, I just hotted up some gravy gel with some turkey stock, heated up some stuffing and poured the gravy over it and some cold turkey. Technically not an open faced sandwich, just warmed leftovers. ---

I voted cold, because there wasn’t an option for ‘cold, open-face, or grilled’; but I’ll have turkey any way it comes. FWIW, I’ve had two turkey sandwiches since Thanksgiving. Both were cold, with tomatoes, provolone cheese, mayonnaise, salt and pepper. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/turkey-sandwiches-and-a-poll/675164.md?page=2)
