I recall my Mom usually did open face turkey sandwiches. Kinda like open faced sloppy joes but with turkey. She also added them in her casseroles. Cold turkey sandwiches that my Dad liked with mayo.
Sliced or diced turkey in a wrap for me then.
Was the turkey mixed with sloppy joe sauce? I’m with your Dad but it’s miracle whip mayonnaise with cold turkey for me
More of the same as the T-day meal. I loved the leftovers just as they were, other than being heated again. After all, that was the only time each year we had it at home. (Back then, some New England restaurants did serve roast turkey dinners all year.)

I really like the cold turkey sandwich for lunch the next day. Sliced sourdough bread (or bun), mayo, lettuce, and a little onion powder on the turkey, sliced thin. We will also use some leftover meat, mostly dark, in gravy over mashed potatoes. Unfortunately this year that probably won't happen. With our usual 12 people, I always get a 23 lb. bird. This year, however, the largest available was barely 20, and I had to dig to find that one. I don't expect to have much left over.
Things my mother did with leftover turkey - Turkey Tetrazzini, Waldorf Salad with Turkey, (walnuts, grapes, apples, mayo, cranberries) Turkey Sandwiches - with cranberry sauce and stuffing.
The Turkey Tetrazzini was casserole a lot like this, but no red peppers and a crusty Pepperidge Farm Stuffing topping.
My dad used to make a turkey, cranberry and dressing sandwich on dinner rolls! LOL
My daughter always gets the bones with a generous amount of meat on them for turkey wild rice soup. There won't be any leftovers here this year. DH will go elk hunting the next day so I'm sending it all home with the kids.
