A quick suggestion for left over turkey

Thickly slice french stick or crusty loaf, spread each slice with a generous amount of Tesco Pizza Toast Tomato and Herb (located near or with sandwich spreads in store), top with finely chopped turkey, sprinkle over a small amount of cheese and place on grill pan and cook until cheese has melted. Serve hot.

You can also add finely chopped strips of salami, ham, maybe even add some olives, fresh herbs etc.
