Are you looking for a great recipe for left-over turkey? Or, are you just a fan of the fowl? This great recipe for Hot Turkey Sandwiches is the perfect poultry dish for your crock pot for a family meal or even a potluck!
Updated with a video from Mikey:
I love turkey. It is our sandwich meat of choice.
And, while I love lunch-meat turkey, I really, really like left-over turkey from a roasted turkey. And, truth be told I cannot wait to try this recipe with some left-over turkey!
I am one of the few in my extended family that prefers turkey at the holiday meal, so I do get the majority of the leftovers–thankfully. I wouldn’t want to have to have words over the bird… just sayin’.
Hot Turkey Sandwiches- Crock Pot
But regardless of your turkey situation, this is one of those super easy recipes that is just great to keep on hand in case you find yourself entertaining a crowd or in need of a dinner idea for something that only takes a handful of ingredients.
We have been known to even serve this over egg noodles. It would also be good as an alternative to Turkey Manhattan over mashed potatoes.
I found the original recipe for these sandwiches in Gooseberry Patch’s Slow-Cooker Christmas Favorites. This recipe calls for 8 cups of cubed cooked turkey, so I adapted it for lunch meat by using 2 lbs lunch meat.
Freezer Cooking Caution:
A full batch makes a hefty 12-16 sandwiches so I did try freezing it, but the lunch meat fell apart upon the reheating after freezing. I plan to try it with turkey leftovers in the near future and I will update this post once I do.
Party Perfect
I really like the idea of serving up these sandwiches at my next party and pairing them with options like Crock Pot Hawaiian Sandwiches, Crock Pot Cheeseburgers or Shredded Chicken Sandwiches.

Gonna have to make this soon. I was scrolling past it and my American husband looked over my shoulder and said “oh yum! Now that’s comfort food!!!”

Hi Tom-
This may not be the recipe for you. Unfortunately, not every recipe meets everyone’s personal taste. Hope you can find something else on the site to meet your needs.
Can you use sharp cheddar cheese instead of Velveeta.?
I use this with chicken all the time, I came across this video a year or two back and make this every few months. I would love to know how good leftovers are, to bad my kids never let me eat them. Thanks for the video and keep cooking.
Hi Paul-
So glad you enjoy it! Thanks for stopping by and let us know.
