Hot Curried Turkey Sandwich

Another Thanksgiving has come and gone and with it the constant search on what to do with the leftovers. One of my favorites growing up is the diner classic, hot turkey sandwiches. Another dish I often make is a simple, curried turkey on rice made with turkey, gravy, onions flavored with a good curry powder. This recipe shows the possibilities of taking two favorites and creating something new. I made this to be rustic but my wife suggested we could add garnishes like raisons, toasted nuts or coconut, chutney, or other traditional curry accompaniments to give it flair.

Ingredients:

 1 pound cooked turkey sliced
 1 medium onion chopped or sliced
 2-3 peppers chopped or sliced
 1 Tbsp. curry powder or to taste
 1 1/2 cups turkey gravy
 2 slices toasted bread
 salt and pepper to taste
 butter and oil to sauté
 possible garnishes: raisons, toasted coconut and nuts, chutney, cilantro

Procedure:
 
 1. slice the turkey, onions and the peppers.
 2. Sauté the onions and peppers in butter and oil with a pinch of salt
 3. Add the curry powder and gravy and simmer
 4. Taste and season, add more curry power if needed
 5. Toast bread and plate, spooning turkey over bread.
 6. Add any garnishes and serve hot.
