“One of my favorite things to do with leftover turkey is chop it up and make a turkey salad with nuts and fruit mixed with mayo and Dijon,” says Chef Mauro. But for people who don’t eat meat, brussels sprouts are a delicious substitute. “I love brussels sprouts,” Chef Mauro says. “They are one of the more meaty vegetables and still have texture, and if there’s caramelization on there, even better.”

Ingredients

  • 3 cups leftover brussels sprouts, quartered
  • 1 green apple, small dice
  • 2 scallions, sliced up to the pale green portion
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons cherry peppers, diced (to taste, depending on spice tolerance)
  • 1 cup mayonaisse
  • ½ cup walnuts, lightly toasted
  • Last night’s unbaked rolls, halved, buttered and heated on a griddle

For garnish

  • Roma tomato, sliced
  • Crisp iceberg lettuce

    4 to 6 sandwiches

    Preparation

    1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve on roll with tomato slices and lettuce.
