“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)

For garnish

4 to 6 sandwiches
