Incredibly delicious Leftover Turkey Bruschetta Slider with Balsamic Mayonnaise is unlike any other sandwich you’ve tasted. It’s easy, fresh, and so flavorful!
I turned the classic combination of tomato, basil, mozzarella into an easy and hearty sandwich. Balsamic mayonnaise makes this recipe stand apart. The bold flavor of balsamic vinaigrette in a creamy base of mayo. It’s a winning flavor profile and you’ll find you want to smear it on every sandwich you make!
Honestly, I enjoy leftovers from holiday meals more than I enjoy the meal itself. Maybe it’s the relatives and having cooked for two days that deter my enthusiasm for the actual holiday meal or maybe it’s because there are so many fun ways to eat leftover turkey!
Maybe it’s a little of both….
Leftover Turkey Bruschetta Slider with Balsamic Mayonnaise is a tall ‘Dagwood’ style sandwich with layers and layers of goodness. Flavorful turkey is the foundation. Mozzarella cheese is piled on top with a salad mix of lettuce, tomato, and the real star, Balsamic Mayonnaise.
It has the classic flavor profile of bruschetta or Caprese, but hearty and filling with the addition of turkey.

First of all, you can use leftover whole turkey, smoked turkey breast, or any turkey or chicken that you have.
Additionally, Havarti, provolone, mozzarella, or any mild, creamy cheese will be great on this sandwich. Use your favorite or whatever you have on hand.
