Open-faced turkey spinach mushroom melts are just 5 ingredients and 15 minutes to make and are a delicious, filling and warm lunch using leftover turkey.
Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time15 minutes
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 oz. white button mushrooms, cleaned, stems removed, mushrooms sliced or chopped
  • 2 cups chopped leftover cooked turkey
  • 2 big handfuls fresh spinach
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 English muffins, halved (or use rolls or bagels)

Instructions

  • Adjust an oven rack so it is within 3-4 inches of the heating element. Preheat broiler.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until they are tender and have given off some of their liquid.
  • Add the turkey and spinach and stir to combine. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is warmed through and the spinach is wilted, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, place the English muffin halves on a sheet pan lined with aluminum foil. 
  • Divide the turkey, spinach and mushroom mixture among the 8 halves. Top each one with about 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Broil on high for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully, until the cheese is melted and browned.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Optional spreads to use for turkey melts: Dijon or regular mustard, mayonnaise, cranberry sauce, marinara or pesto.
Optional toppings: Sliced or diced avocado, salsa or pico de gallo, pickled red onions, or hot sauce or sriracha for a kick.
Leftovers: Wrap the leftover turkey melts in aluminum foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in a toaster oven, regular oven or microwave oven. Once reheated, you can broil for a minute to get the browning on the cheese. Serve hot.
