Thanksgiving Manhattan

This is a turkey manhattan with a Thanksgiving twist. Manhattans are comfort food for me from my childhood. School lunch served beef manhattan or turkey manhattan about once a month. It consisted of 1-2 slices of white bread, deli meat of either roast beef or turkey, mash potatoes, and gravy. Chicken gravy for turkey and beef gravy for the beef. It was either made as an open faced sandwich with only a slice of bread on the bottom, the meat on top of it, then a scoop of mash potatoes before the gravy or make a sandwich, then cover it with mash potatoes and gravy. That's a basic manhattan.

Here's my Thanksgiving manhattan.
1) place one slice of bread on the plate.
2) place shredded or cubed turkey from Thanksgiving on the bread.
3) add a scoop of stuffing on top of the turkey.
4) pour some chicken or turkey gravy over the stuffing.

Some of you may have already had this before, but called it a different name, such as leftovers. :-D

This is another way to use those leftovers. Happy Cooking.
