Cornbread Waffle Turkey Sandwiches with Cranberry Aioli

November 25, 2014

  • 12

Make sure you have plenty of turkey leftover this Thanksgiving because you will want to make these Cornbread Waffle Turkey Sandwiches with Cranberry Aioli. Trust me!   

Cornbread Waffle Turkey Sandwiches with Cranberry Aioli @createdbydiane perfect for thanksgiving leftovers

There are so many things to make with leftover turkey,

but sandwiches are a classic.

Although there is nothing classic about this sandwich,

you will want it none the less.

It all starts with seasoned cornbread waffles…

oh, how these are going to be good for so many sandwiches and snacks!

Then the turkey gets piled on top with some spinach or your favorite lettuce,

and don’t forget the cranberry…sauce, this sauce is REALLY great,

it’s a Cranberry Aioli. It’s sweet and tangy and savory all at the same time.

Cornbread Waffles @createdbydiane

Ok, let’s talk waffles!

They aren’t just for breakfast,

these cornbread waffles are seasoned with chicken flavor to give them an extra delicious taste, think cornbread stuffing.

They are light and not to heavy for a sandwich, and well they are great for snacking too. I may have sampled a few along the way.

All great sandwiches have something that puts them over the top,

it makes them more delicious,

on this one, it’s the Cranberry Aioli

This is one sauce I’m sure I will find more things to put it on, it’s that GOOD!

Be sure to save some turkey for this from your Thanksgiving turkey,

or go ahead and buy some real turkey breast and enjoy this delicious sandwich any time of year and maybe it will be the sandwich you make when you want to remind yourself of Thanksgiving memories.

Cranberry Aioli
 
Print
Ingredients
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard (I used spicy brown mustard, dijon would be good as well)
  • 1 cup olive oil (or oil of your choice)
  • pinch of salt (salt is key to balance the flavors, so add a little now and maybe a little after blending)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic (I use Gourmet Gardens garlic, its' smooth and easy to use)
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
Instructions
  1. In a tall narrow container (glass jar or stemless wine glass) that an immersion blender will fit into. This is how I find I make aioli that comes out great every time, I have used drink makers, blenders, but they never seem as good as the whipping action of an immersion blender.
  2. Add egg yolk, vinegar, mustard, olive oil, and salt to the glass jar
  3. Place the immersion blender into the jar and begin blending, moving the blender up and down to emulsify
  4. Once it's blended, add in the cranberry sauce and blend until smooth
  5. add additional salt if desired
