• Buttery, Flavor-Packed Topping: A mixture of melted butter, honey mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced onion adds rich, festive flavor.
• Festive Presentation: Topped with poppy seeds and fresh chives, these sliders look as good as they taste on your Thanksgiving table.

Ingredients

• 1 package (12-count) Hawaiian sweet rolls OR any homemade dinner rolls
• 2 cups prepared stuffing
• ½ pound cooked turkey, shredded or thinly sliced
• 1 cup jellied cranberry sauce
• 8 slices Mozzarella cheese
• 6 Tablespoons salted butter, melted
• 1/2 Tablespoon honey mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 Tablespoon dried minced onion
• 1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds
• 2 teaspoons fresh minced chives

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Slice the rolls in half lengthwise. Place the bottom halves, cut side up, in the prepared baking dish.

Spread the stuffing evenly over the cut side up rolls. Lay the turkey evenly over the stuffing. Add the slices of Mozzarella cheese in an even layer over the turkey. Spread the cranberry sauce evenly over the cheese. Cover with the top halves of the rolls.

Whisk the melted butter, honey mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and dried minced onion together in a small bowl. Generously brush across the tops of the sliders.

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the sliders are warmed through and the cheese is melted.

Remove foil and bake for another couple minutes to just slightly brown the tops. Watch closely! Remove from the oven and garnish with the poppy seeds and chives. Serve warm and enjoy!

Servings

This recipe yields 12 sliders, making it perfect for feeding a small crowd or family. With 6 servings in total, each person can enjoy two satisfying sliders, just the right portion for lunch, dinner, or even a hearty snack.

Serving Suggestions

These mini sandwiches are versatile and can be enjoyed in various ways. Here are some ideas to elevate your meal:  

Pair with a Side Salad: A crisp green salad with a light vinaigrette can balance the richness of the sliders.  

Serve with Sweet Potato Fries: Keep the holiday flavors going by serving these with a side of baked or fried sweet potato fries.  

Holiday Brunch Option: These sliders also make a fantastic addition to a holiday brunch spread. Serve them alongside scrambled eggs, fruit, and mimosas.

Storage and Reheating

These sliders taste best fresh from the oven, but they also store well. If you have leftovers follow these tips:  to store, place any leftover sliders in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm individual sliders in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds or reheat them in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 8 minutes to restore their original flavor and texture.

These sliders also make a great meal-prep option if you want to prepare them ahead of time. Simply assemble the sliders, cover them tightly with foil, and refrigerate them overnight. When you’re ready to serve, pop them in the oven as directed.

Holly’s Tips for The Best Turkey Cranberry Sliders:

• Choose The Right Rolls: Hawaiian sweet rolls add a touch of sweetness that pairs perfectly with cranberry sauce, but any soft, sturdy dinner roll works.
• Warm Leftovers: Gently warm the turkey and stuffing before assembling to ensure the sliders heat evenly and the cheese melts beautifully.
• Don’t Overfill: Too much layering can make the sliders difficult to handle and less evenly cooked.
• Brush The Tops Generously: The butter, honey mustard, and Worcestershire mixture keeps the tops golden, flavorful, and slightly crisp.
• Watch The Bake: Remove the foil for the last 2 minutes to lightly brown the tops. Keep an eye so they don’t burn.
• Customize The Cheese: Mozzarella melts well, but Havarti, Monterey Jack, or mild Cheddar are tasty alternatives.
• Garnish For Flair: Poppy seeds and fresh chives add a festive touch that makes your sliders look as good as they taste.

Ingredients

Salad Base

• 4 cups sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• Kosher salt and black pepper
• ½ cup chopped cooked bacon
• 8 cups mixed spring greens
• 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
• ½ to 1 pound cooked shredded turkey or chicken
• 1 Honeycrisp apple, cored and diced
• ⅔ cup chopped pecans
• ⅓ cup dried cranberries
• ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Maple Vinaigrette

• ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• ¼ cup white balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons minced shallot
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Instructions

For The Salad Base

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Place the cubed sweet potatoes on a sheet pan. Pour the olive oil evenly over the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper then gently toss to coat. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer and roast until tender, about 25 minutes or so, tossing halfway through.

Add the mixed spring greens and romaine lettuce to a large salad bowl and gently toss. 

Place the roasted sweet potatoes, chopped bacon, turkey or chicken, apple, pecans, cranberries, and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the salad. 

For The Maple Vinaigrette

In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, vinegar, shallot, pure maple syrup and Dijon mustard together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour dressing over salad and toss together. Serve and enjoy!

Servings

This salad serves approximately 4 people, making it the perfect dish for a small family meal or a cozy lunch with friends. However, it’s incredibly easy to double or even triple for larger gatherings or special events. The ingredients scale up effortlessly. Simply roast more sweet potatoes, add extra greens, and increase the toppings accordingly. The same goes for the maple vinaigrette; just mix up a larger batch to ensure every bite is drizzled with that delicious dressing.

Storage

If you’re making this salad ahead of time, keep the ingredients separate and store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Assemble the salad and add the vinaigrette just before serving to keep the greens crisp and fresh. The dressing can be made up to a week in advance and stored in a jar in the fridge. Just give it a good shake before drizzling it over the salad. This is a great meal to make for a lighter lunch before a rich dinner with the family. You can also make this and serve as a side dish for that lavish dinner if you so desire.

Holly’s Tips for The Best Harvest Cobb Salad:

• Even Roasting: Cut sweet potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes so they roast evenly and caramelize beautifully.
• Toss Greens Gently: Mix the spring greens and romaine lightly to avoid bruising and maintain crispness.
• Slice Apples Just Before Serving: To keep the apples fresh and prevent browning, slice them right before adding them to the salad. You can also toss them lightly in lemon juice to keep them fresh!
• Add Crunchy Ingredients Last: Toss in pecans and cranberries just before serving to maintain their crunch and chewiness.
• Chill Before Serving: Keep all ingredients fresh until serving. This enhances the crispness and flavor of every bite.
• Add Extra Crunch: If you’re looking for even more crunch, add croutons or roasted pumpkin seeds to balance out the sweetness of the honeycrisp apples and cranberries.

The Thanksgiving holiday is more than just preparing a delicious turkey. It’s so much more than that. It’s also preparing the sides, appetizers, desserts, and even breakfast the morning of. It may all seem daunting, but we all know that in the end it is worth every single second. Making this meal to share with loved ones is so wonderful. That being said, I have put together this list of 20+ Delicious Thanksgiving Recipes! All of these are tried and true favorites of ours, so I have placed them all in one post so you can bookmark this page and use it year after year!

20+ DELICIOUS THANKSGIVING RECIPES

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and Thanksgiving is no exception. You need to be properly fueled and energized so you have the stamina to chop, cook, dice, bake, sauté, and eat all day long. One of my favorite holiday breakfasts is my Breakfast Bake. It is rather simple to throw together and it’s the perfect recipe to get your oven warmed up with. Since it’ll be on all day, you might as well prime it first thing in the morning with a delicious protein-packed meal.

For something sweet to go with that morning cup of coffee try my Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls. This is also a great recipe for dessert!

MAIN COURSE

I have some incredible recipes for the main meal of the day. The Lofthouse gang looks forward to these specific dishes all year long. We all know who the star of the show is here and that’s my Crock Pot Turkey and Gravy. No need to have the bird in the oven with the gravy on the stove top. All you need is a slow cooker, and you will get a two for one with this recipe.

My Slow Cooker Honey Glazed Ham is another delicious main course option. It’s especially great for the non-turkey lovers. I make this every year to eat with the turkey!

SENSATIONAL SIDE DISHES

One of my favorite parts about Thanksgiving is the variety of side dishes. I will typically have a second plate just to make sure I get a little taste of everything! One of my personal favorites is my Green Bean Casserole. It’s a staple this time of year!

Instead of putting a can of cranberries on the table try something a little different with my Cranberry Fluff. It can act like a side dish and a dessert at the same time!

BASKETS OF BREAD

Whether it’s to clean your plate of every last bit of food, or for the turkey sandwich the next day, you’re going to want some homemade rolls on the table. My recipe for the World’s Best Dinner Rolls are incredible. They are fluffy, airy, buttery and might be the first thing gone. My kids love these. The second they are done baking they’re snatched off the counter, split in half, and spread with plenty of butter.

You can also try something sweet like my Orange Rolls. This is a classic here in the Lofthouse, and in my personal opinion they are great no matter the time of day. You can have these in the morning with coffee, at night to satisfy your sweet tooth, or with the main meal to have something fluffy and zesty to cut through all the salty foods.

DESIRABLE DESSERTS

It’s time to loosen the belt and make some space for dessert! What would Thanksgiving be without an array of pies, cakes, and sweet treats to round off the large meal. I am sure that there is going to be a slice of pumpkin pie somewhere on the table, but for something different give my Pumpkin Cobbler a try. It is so good, slow cooked, and goes great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

For an all-American classic make sure to try my Shredded Apple Pie. It may be one of the best recipes out there for an apple pie. The texture and flavors mixed together with the buttery crust is one that you’ll be thinking of all year long.

I have classics such as Turkey Ranch Club Wraps and Ham and Cheese Sliders to unique lunches like my Thanksgiving Leftover Panini and Monte Cristo Waffle Sandwich. Whatever mood strikes or whichever occasion you are getting ready for this set of recipes is the ultimate go-to.

CAN THESE 20+ SANDWICH AND WRAP RECIPES BE PREPARED AHEAD OF TIME?

If you are packing lunches for a day out of the house, or for many guests, then there are definitely a few selections that I would recommend preparing ahead of time. Some of my favorites when I am packing a picnic are my Strawberry Chicken Wraps. Perfect light, bright, and fresh wraps that go well with any outdoor scenery.

I also love to prepare my Chicken Salad Croissant Sandwiches for an afternoon outing. When I make these, I keep the chicken salad and croissants separate until I serve them. This way the bread stays firm and doesn’t get soggy.

ARE THERE ANY CARB-FRIENDLY SANDWICH OR WRAP RECIPES?

If you are trying to watch your intake of carbohydrates, I have a few recipes that will work just right for you. First, my Cheeseburger Lettuce Wraps will give you all the things that you love about eating a homemade grilled cheeseburger, without the bun.

Why You’ll Love This Turkey & Stuffing Roll Ups Recipe:

• All The Flavors of Thanksgiving: Enjoy tender turkey, savory stuffing, and creamy gravy without having to cook an entire holiday meal.
• Simple Ingredients: Made with easy pantry staples like stuffing mix, cream of chicken soup, and gravy packets.
• Cozy Fall Dinner: A comforting, hearty meal that brings all the warmth of the season to your table.
• Leftovers-Friendly: Ideal for using up extra turkey or stuffing from Thanksgiving.
• Family-Friendly Comfort Food: Everyone will love these creamy, homestyle roll-ups served with mashed potatoes and veggies.

Ingredients

• 8 slices good quality Oven Roasted Turkey Breast
• 1 package (5 ounces) dry Stuffing Mix (turkey or cornbread flavored) or use homemade stuffing
• 2 packets (0.87 ounce, each) Turkey Gravy mix
• 1 can (10 ounces) Cream of Chicken Soup
• 2 cups Water

Instructions

Prepare stuffing mix according to package directions. Prepare gravy by dumping gravy mix into a medium-sized sauce pan. Mix in water and cream of chicken soup. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for a couple minutes until thickened.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spoon 1/4 cup of stuffing onto each turkey slice. Roll up and place seam side down in a greased 9×13 glass baking pan. Repeat with all turkey slices. Pour about 1 cup of gravy over the turkey rolls. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.

Serve with mashed potatoes, veggies, and remaining gravy. Enjoy!

Servings

Yields: 4 servings.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover Turkey & Stuffing Roll Ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days, keeping extra gravy separate. To freeze, wrap each roll tightly and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months, then thaw overnight before reheating. For best results, reheat in a 350°F oven for 20–25 minutes, covered with foil, adding a little gravy or water to keep them moist. You can also microwave individual portions for 1–2 minutes, covering with a damp paper towel and topping with warm gravy before serving.

Holly’s Tips for The Best Turkey & Stuffing Roll Ups:

• Use High-Quality Turkey: Choose thick, oven-roasted turkey slices from the deli counter so they hold up well when rolled and baked. Leftover Turkey works!
• Don’t Overfill: I recommend using about ¼ cup of stuffing per slice. Too much can cause the rolls to burst open while baking.
• Too Dry? Try This: If your stuffing feels dry, mix in a tablespoon or two of chicken broth before rolling for a softer texture.
• Bake Covered: Keep the roll-ups covered tightly with foil so they stay tender and don’t dry out in the oven.
• Serve With Your Favorite Thanksgiving or Seasonal Sides: Creamy Mashed Potatoes, roasted vegetables, or Cranberry Sauce make the perfect pairings for this comforting meal.

You know those lunches where you’re craving your favorite foot-long sub? For me, that’s almost every day, but eating that much bread wouldn’t allow me to fit into my favorite summer swimsuit. My Italian Sub Salad is the perfect solution to curb those carb cravings.

ITALIAN SUB SALAD

Start by washing and chopping a head of romaine lettuce. Fill the bowl with the romaine lettuce. Cube up a few slices of salami and lean turkey for your protein. Open and drain a can of sliced black olives. Cut in half a handful of ripe cherry tomatoes and slice a few banana peppers. Last but not least, slice up some provolone cheese, and you have all the makings for this guilt-free sub substitute.

Dress this salad with an easy homemade Italian Vinaigrette for that extra level of finesse that will have your family exclaiming, “Mamma Mia!” This salad is perfect in smaller portions for lunch, or in a large bowl for those large family nights.  With all the flavor and love that goes into this Italian Sub Salad, you’ll be saying “Arrivederci” to those fast-food sub joints in no time.

MEAT OPTIONS

Other delicious meats I recommend are:  Capicola, Ham, Prosciutto, Pancetta, or Salsiccia for that enhanced authentic Italian flavor.

CHEESE OPTIONS

To keep the salad with Italian flavor, I would recommend Parmigiano-Reggiano. 

DRESSINGS

For a little more flavor and substance, a creamy Italian dressing would go very well with this salad.  If you want to keep the salad lite use olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a simple and flavorful dressing.

DID YOU ENJOY THIS SUB SUBSTITUTE?  HERE ARE A FEW MORE THAT YOU MIGHT ENJOY!

These Monte Cristo Croissants are just like the classic monte cristo sandwiches everyone has come to know and love. The only difference is that they’re rolled up in crescent dough rather than being placed on top. This makes it so they are easier to grab and keeps all of the delicious fillings where they should be: inside!

One of the many things I love about monte cristos are the savory flavors from the meat and cheese, but also the sweetness from the raspberry jam and powdered sugar. Which means you can enjoy these warm croissants any time of the day!

Have one for breakfast to start off your morning, for lunch to help get you through the afternoon, or for dinner to finish off the night. No matter when you choose to indulge in one you just can’t go wrong! 

The flavors in these croissants melt together in the most heavenly ways to give you a comforting meal that the whole family will love. There’s so many different textures and flavors from the different meats, melty cheese, flaky croissant and sweet jam that you won’t be able to get enough!

INGREDIENTS

Everything you love about a classic monte Cristo, but instead of placing the ingredients on flat croissants, you roll them up into it! 

• Crescent roll dough: To make life easy I use Pillsbury’s pre-made refrigerated crescent dough.
• Turkey: sliced deli turkey works best, but if you have leftover turkey you could also use that.
• Honey ham: same as with turkey just use deli ham or any leftover meat you have.
• Muenster cheese: yes, it has to be Muenster! (not really, but it is recommended). Swiss cheese is another great option.
• Raspberry jam: any jam or preserves will do!
• Powdered sugar: for that little extra something.

ALTERNATIVES

A few ways to make these your own:

• Jam/preserves : you can use just about any flavor of jam you want! Strawberry, blackberry, or grape are just a few options.
• Cheese: I know I said it has to be Muenster cheese, but it doesn’t actually have to be. If you don’t have it you can use whatever cheese you have, but keep in mind Muenster gives the best flavoring (in my opinion).
• Dough: you don’t have to use store bought, you could also make it from scratch and shape it yourself. You could also use low-fat crescent rolls to try and keep things a tiny bit cleaner!

LEFTOVERS

I suggest you eat these the same day you make them. I feel the crescent dough doesn’t hold up well for very long. 

MEAT OPTIONS

Whatever meat you have on hand works fine. Making these after Thanksgiving? Use the leftover turkey! After Easter or Christmas? Use the leftover ham!

Why You’ll Love This Crock Pot Turkey and Gravy Recipe:

• The Best Thanksgiving Turkey Recipe: Frees up valuable oven space for side dishes and desserts.
• Juicy, Tender Turkey Every Time: This recipe slow-cooks the turkey breast-side down to lock in moisture without constant basting.
• Rich, Flavorful Gravy: Made from a buttery vegetable medley of onions, carrots, celery, and garlic, plus fresh thyme and bay leaves.
• Foolproof And Stress-Free: No guesswork or fuss; just set, cook, and enjoy.
• Ideal For Smaller Gatherings: This recipe calls for a 6–7 lb. turkey breast that fits perfectly in a 7–8 quart crock pot.
• Make-Ahead Friendly: This turkey can be cooked earlier in the day and stays warm until serving.

Ingredients

• 3 Tablespoons butter
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 large carrot, chopped
• 1 celery rib, chopped
• 4 cloves of garlic minced
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1/2 Tablespoon dried
• 2 bay leaves
• 6 to 7 pound bone-in, skin-on turkey breast (no more than 7 pounds or it won’t fit in your slow cooker)
• salt and pepper

Instructions

In a large, nonstick skillet melt butter over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion, carrot, celery and garlic. Cook mixture until vegetables are tender and slightly browned. About 10 minutes.

Stir in flour and cook 2 minutes or until flour is golden and coated over the veggies. Slowly whisk in the broth and water. Add thyme and bay leaves.

Pour this mixture into your large ( 7 to 8 quart) crock pot.

Season the turkey breast with salt and pepper. (Being careful not to over-salt. Use more pepper than salt) Place the turkey in the crock pot, breast side down.

Cover and cook on low heat for 5 to 7 hours. Or on high heat 5 to 6 hours. (The internal temperature of the turkey breast should be 165 degrees.)

Carefully transfer the turkey breast to a 9×13 inch baking pan. Tent with foil and let rest while you prepare the gravy.

Strain liquid in the crock pot into a medium saucepan. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then skim any fat from the top surface. Bring gravy to a simmer and cook 15 minutes, stirring often, until slightly thickened. It won’t get extremely thick (this is more of a thinner gravy). You can add a slurry of cornstarch and water (1 Tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 1/2 Tablespoons water) to thicken it more if you’d like. Season gravy with salt and pepper, if needed.

Carve the turkey and serve with gravy. Enjoy!

Servings

6 to 7 lb. turkey and gravy dinner.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover turkey and gravy in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat turkey, place slices in a baking dish with a splash of broth or gravy, cover with foil, and warm in a 325°F oven for 15–20 minutes. Reheat gravy in a saucepan over medium-low, whisking occasionally and thinning with broth or water if needed. For best results, portion turkey with a little gravy before storing to keep it moist and make reheating easier.

Holly’s Tips for The Best Crock Pot Turkey and Gravy Recipe:

• Choose The Right Turkey: Opt for a bone-in, skin-on turkey breast. 6–7 pounds works best for the slow cooker, fitting comfortably while staying juicy.
• Season Generously: Use plenty of pepper and a moderate amount of salt to enhance flavor without over-salting.
• Cook Turkey Breast-Side Down: This keeps the turkey meat moist and flavorful as it absorbs the vegetable and herb aromatics.
• Build A Flavorful Base: Sauté onions, carrots, celery, and garlic in butter before adding broth and herbs—this step creates a rich, savory gravy.
• Don’t Rush: Low and slow is key with this slow-cooker turkey dinner. Allow 5–7 hours on low (or 5–6 on high) for tender, perfectly cooked turkey.
• Rest Before Carving: Let the turkey rest under foil after cooking so juices redistribute, ensuring every slice is juicy.
• Thicken Gravy If Needed: For a richer consistency, use a cornstarch slurry or simmer a few extra minutes, adjusting seasoning to taste.
• Expert Tip: Plan ahead! Prepare the base and chop vegetables in advance to save time on busy holiday mornings.

Is there anything better than a classic club sandwich? These traditional Club Sandwiches have been my go-to recipe for years, especially for parties, and I’m so thrilled to share it with you. Never underestimate a simple club sandwich recipe; these are a staple at every spring picnic and summer party.

Here at The Lofthouse, we love to plan Family Night at least twice a month, usually with a fun theme like Game Night or Craft Night. This time, we kept Movie Night cozy with a great film and a platter of these easy club sandwiches. Everyone loved them! My kids quickly asked for seconds. These sandwiches are family-friendly, shareable, and always the first thing to disappear anytime you serve them!

CLUB SANDWICHES

Every great sandwich starts with a delicious base. Start with toasted bread as a sturdy base. You’ll need 6 slices of your favorite bread. I recommend white, sourdough, ciabatta, or honey whole wheat for the best club sandwich. Then comes the fun part: layering on the flavor. Pile on savory turkey and ham, crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, and juicy tomato,  with creamy mayo and a touch of tangy mustard to bring it all together. Toasting the bread adds the perfect crunch, while the melty Colby-Jack brings everything together for that classic deli-style sandwich everyone loves. This club sandwich recipe works great for easy weeknight meals, potlucks, and any event where you need something fast and simple. The result is two large sandwiches, but you can easily double or triple the recipe to feed a crowd.

Find my expert tips on how to make homemade club sandwiches below! Don’t forget to tag me in all of your creations @lifeinthelofthouse on Instagram and Facebook. Let’s stay connected. ❤️

Why You’ll Love This Club Sandwich Recipe:

• Classic Deli Club Sandwiches: A timeless combination of meats, crisp lettuce, juicy tomato, and creamy spreads.
• Quick & Easy: Simple ingredients and minimal prep make this perfect for lunch or a fast dinner.
• Customizable & Versatile: Easily swap meats, cheeses, or spreads to suit your diet and taste.
• Great for Sharing: Cuts into triangles for a fun, shareable meal or party platter.

Ingredients

• 6 good-quality slices of bread
• 1/2 pound deli turkey, thinly sliced
• 1/2 pound deli ham, thinly sliced
• 2 slices Colby-Jack cheese
• 4 slices cooked bacon
• 4 slices of tomato
• romaine lettuce
• mayo
• mustard

Instructions

Toast bread in a toaster until golden-brown. Let cool completely before building sandwiches. Take one slice of bread and slather it with mayo/mixture (as much or as little as you like).

Top that slice of bread with 3 pieces of turkey. Top turkey with romaine lettuce and 2 slices of bacon.

Take another slice of bread and top it with the bacon. Slather that bread with a little more mayo/ mustard mix. Add 3 pieces of ham, 1 slice of cheese, 2 slices of tomato, and lettuce. Top with one more piece of bread.

Slightly press the top of the sandwich down to help everything stay together. Repeat the same process with the remaining ingredients and 3 pieces of bread. 

You will have 2 large sandwiches total. Cut each sandwich into 4 triangles and serve. Enjoy!

Servings

Yields: 2 large club sandwiches (serves 2 to 4), each cut into 4 triangles. Feel free to double or triple the ingredients to serve a larger crowd for parties or potlucks.

Storage

To store club sandwiches, keep the ingredients separate whenever possible, toast the bread, cook the bacon, and slice the vegetables ahead of time, but assemble the sandwiches just before serving to maintain freshness and crunch. If you need to store fully assembled sandwiches, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. For longer storage, you can refrigerate the components individually and assemble as needed.

Holly’s Tips for The Best Club Sandwiches Recipe:

• Use High-Quality Bread: Use sturdy bread like sourdough, ciabatta, or honey whole wheat to hold all the layers together without getting soggy. Lightly toasting the bread adds extra crunch and flavor.
• Use High-Quality Ingredients: Fresh lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and quality deli meats make a big difference in flavor. Choose Colby-Jack for that classic deli taste.
• Layer To Your Liking: Stack your turkey, ham, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and cheese evenly if you want a light sandwich, or make it more hearty by doubling the layers!
• Slice Sandwiches Strategically: Cut the club sandwiches into triangles for easier handling and a classic presentation that’s perfect for potlucks, parties, and family dinners.
• Make It Your Own: Add avocado, pickles, or your favorite cheese. You can also swap deli meats or use grilled chicken for a different flavor profile while keeping the classic stacked look.
• Serve Sandwiches Fresh: Assemble just before serving to maintain the crunch of the bread and the freshness of the ingredients. If making ahead, store components separately and layer right before serving.

• Budget-Friendly Recipe: A great way to stretch simple ingredients into multiple meals while saving money and avoiding takeout.

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground turkey (I use 93 % lean)
• 1 Tablespoon taco seasoning
• 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained
• 1 can (15 ounces) corn, drained
• 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (I use the Uncle Ben’s ‘Ready Rice’ bags)
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• green leaf lettuce

Toppings

• salsa
• light sour cream
• light dressing

Instructions

In a large, non-stick skillet, add ground turkey and sprinkle taco seasoning over the top. Cook and crumble turkey over medium-high heat until thoroughly cooked.

Take four individual meal prep bowls/containers (I buy mine on Amazon) or any microwave-safe container with lids. Divide the cooked ground turkey evenly between the four bowls.

Then divide the black beans, corn, rice and tomatoes between the bowls so each bowl has equal amounts. (Make sure turkey has cooled down before closing with lids.) Place each bowl, covered with their lids, in the fridge to store for up to 3 days.

When ready to eat, remove lids and microwave in 40 second increments until warmed through. Top each bowl with desired amount of green leaf lettuce and your favorite taco toppings. Enjoy!

Servings

Yields: 4 taco salad meal prep bowls.

Storage and Reheating

For best results, store your taco meal prep bowls in airtight, microwave-safe containers for up to 3 days, keeping the lettuce and toppings separate, so they stay crisp. When ready to eat, remove the lid and reheat the turkey, rice, beans, corn, and tomatoes in 30-40 second increments until warmed through, then add the fresh lettuce and your favorite taco toppings. These bowls can also be enjoyed cold if you prefer a no-heat option.

Holly’s Tips for The Best Taco Meal Prep Bowls:

• Cool The Ground Turkey Completely: For the freshest and best taco salad meal prep results, let the cooked turkey cool before sealing the containers to avoid sogginess.
• Use Taco Seasoning: Choose a high-quality taco seasoning or add extra spices like cumin, chili powder, or garlic powder to make your ground turkey taco bowls taste even better.
• Keep Lettuce & Toppings Separate: To maintain crisp texture, store lettuce, salsa, sour cream, and dressings separately and add them right before eating.
• Reheat in Short Intervals: Warm the turkey, rice, beans, and corn in 30-40 second increments for perfectly reheated taco meal prep bowls without overcooking.
• Choose Jasmine or Ready Rice: Using microwaveable jasmine rice is more convenient, saves prep time, and helps these healthy meal prep bowls come together fast.
• Customizable Meal Prep: Add avocado, shredded cheese, jalapeños, lime juice, cilantro, or crushed tortilla chips for extra flavor and texture in your taco salad bowls.
• Evenly Portion Ingredients: Dividing the turkey, beans, corn, and rice evenly ensures well-balanced, satisfying meal prep bowls that keep you full.

I am so grateful I married a man that has the same taste in food that I have. Not that we have a sophisticated palate or anything like that, but Kale doesn’t like to eat weird things like liver and onions and I’m so thankful for that. haha! 😉

We like our food simple and classic. Club sandwiches are one of our big time favorites. When we eat out at a diner we both always order a club. It’s kind of funny. We have done that since we started dating.

Last week I was getting ready to make lunch and realized I didn’t have any regular sandwich bread left. Luckily, I had some buttery, delicious croissants from Costco, so we whipped us up these Club Croissants and dove straight into club heaven. 😉

These croissant clubs are filled with slices of honey ham, turkey and bacon with green leaf lettuce and tomato slices. We added some pepper-jack cheese instead of regular cheddar this time. It gave the sandwiches just a little bit of kick that was totally delicious.

Thankfully, these sandwiches are so easy to whip up they can be made any old time. Next time we have a picnic I know what I’m making!

Believe it or not I do eat healthy food. With all the fattening recipes and desserts I post you wouldn’t think so, but I do. I never serve a meal without some type of veggie, and we eat salads a lot. Even my kids love them.

We went out to lunch with my Dad and sister a few weeks ago, and when the waiter came to take our order my 3 year old, Kallen, shouts to the waiter, “Me want a salad!” Everyone busted up laughing. It was so funny, but he was serious! When the waiter brought out our food, Kallen was a happy camper munchin’ on his lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers 🙂

This Chef Salad I’m sharing today is one of my favorites. It’s a basic Chef Salad, but what makes it so awesome is the dressing I serve with it. It’s a combo of delicious Honey Mustard with Creamy Poppy Seed dressing mixed in. It is incredible!

   Well hello everyone! I just put the kids to bed, so I thought I’d hurry and share this recipe with you all before I unwind for the night. Whew. It’s been a long week. I’m so glad it’s Friday night! I’m so ready for a great and relaxing holiday weekend with my family! : ) 

   I saw this yummy dish on The Food Network’s recipe site! This one comes from our girl Rachel Ray. Love her. Her Cowboy Spaghetti sounded delish, but pretty fattening. It really didn’t fit into my new ‘health’ craze, so I decided to modify it, quite a bit, and it turned out really good. The kiddos loved it, so I was happy.

   Her recipe calls for ground beef, regular bacon, beer and cheddar cheese. I decided to go with some lean ground turkey, turkey bacon and omit the beer. I thought about leaving out the cheese as well, but what’s spaghetti without cheese!? So I added in a little bit of Parmesan and part-skim Mozzarella. It was perfect!

Cowboy Spaghetti

Adapted from: Rachel Ray

• 8 oz Whole Wheat Spaghetti noodles

• 1 pound lean Ground Turkey

• 4 slices Turkey Bacon, chopped

• 1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil

• 1 medium yellow Onion, chopped

• 3 cloves Garlic, minced

• Ground Black pepper

• 1 (14 oz) can Diced Italian Tomatoes

• 1 (14 oz) can Tomato’s sauce

• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

• 2 teaspoons Hot Sauce (optional)

• 4 Green Onions, chopped

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1/2 cup part-skim Mozzarella Cheese

Directions:  Heat a pot of water to a boil. Add spaghetti and salt the water. Cook to ‘al dente’ according to package directions.

In a large, deep skillet heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in chopped bacon. Cook until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove bacon from skillet. Set aside.

Add ground turkey to skillet. Crumble it as it browns, 4-6 minutes. Add in yellow onion and garlic. Season meat with salt, pepper, Worcestershire and hot sauce. Pour in canned tomatoes, tomato sauce and crumbled turkey bacon. Stir and mix together well. Cook until thoroughly heated. About 8-10 minutes.

Divide hot spaghetti noodles evenly among 4 plates. Pour sauce mixture over the top of the noodles. Top each serving with chopped green onion, parmesan and mozzarella cheese! Enjoy : )
