Turkey Cubano Sandwich

Leftover turkey grilled with cheese and prosciutto/ham is possibly one of the best ways to use up leftover turkey. Whatever you do don’t skip the Sriracha Mayonnaise, dill pickle and peperoncini. They add so much and the flavors work. The only real Carbs are in the Bread. Cuban bread is similar to a French loaf, soft on the inside with a soft crust. Gluten Free or a good bread work just fine.
