I wanted to get creative this year and mix things up.&#160; Yeah, turkey soup and mashed potato bowls are great, but I wanted to create a unique turkey sandwich.&#160; I didn\u2019t want anything complicated, just a different way to enjoy the fruits of our labor from Thanksgiving day.&#160;

Use one of Udi\u2019s other <a href=\"http:\/\/udisglutenfree.com\/products\/\" target=\"_blank\">gluten-free bread options<\/a>: white, whole grain, or millet-chia. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I instantly fell in love with this combination!&#160; The sweet &amp; savory combination really came together nicely and the crisp apple slices were the perfect addition to the melty cheese.&#160; I can\u2019t wait to make this again!<\/p>\n<p><em><font size=\"1\">**The bread used for review purposes in this recipe was sent to me free of charge.&#160;
