AuthorEmma JonesCategoryChristmas, Over 800 caloriesDifficultyBeginnerThe best bit about Christmas dinner is the turkey, and more specifically, the leftover turkey and eating it for DAYS afterwards in all manner of ways. This recipe comes to you from turkey expert Paul Kelly and his amazing, luxury British KellyBronze turkeys, and this is a way of using leftovers that really steals the show.
You'll notice that each sandwich is raaaather high in calories, but hey, it's Christmas, and the 69g of protein here will fill you up nicely and give you all the energy needed for another game of Monopoly.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees
Add the butter and thyme leaves to a saucepan on a low heat. When the butter has melted, stir in the flour and leave to cook for two minutes. Then add the milk and whisk until smooth (no lumps!) Increase the heat and leave to simmer for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened.
Remove pan from the heat and add the mustard and Wensleydale cheese. Return back to the heat for 30 seconds until cheese has melted.
Slice the bread into six 1.5cm thick slices. Spread the cranberry sauce onto three slices, then add the béchamel sauce and grate on some Gruyere cheese. Add the turkey, some more Gruyere and then sandwich together with the remaining slices.
On the top of the sandwich, add a little more béchamel, a sprinkle of Gruyere and bake in the oven until the cheese has melted and is golden brown in colour.
While the sandwiches are in the oven, grab a frying pan, add a knob of butter and fry three eggs until the whites are cooked but the yolks are still runny.
Remove the sandwiches from the oven when golden brown, and place one egg on top of each.
Eat and enjoy!
