Turkey and Mozzarella Christmas Sandwich Loaf

Hello friends. I hope you are having a lovely Christmas? So today I am sharing a recipe to save for after Christmas.

Turkey And Mozzarella Christmas Sandwich Loaf Recipe:

Turkey And Mozzarella Christmas Sandwich Loaf Recipe.

The loaf is usually prepared using a circular loaf sliced lengthwise, and filled with layers of roasted turkey, mozzarella cheese, fresh vegetables, and flavourful spreads.

Cranberry sauce is often added to provide a sweet and tangy contrast, while lettuce, spinach, or herbs contribute freshness. Some recipes also include stuffing or gravy to create a traditional Christmas taste.

More Turkey Curry? If the answer is ‘No’ then this Christmas sandwich loaf is a much more interesting way of using up leftover turkey.

How tasty!? One of the best features of this sandwich loaf is its versatility. It can be served warm, allowing the mozzarella to melt beautifully, or enjoyed cold as part of a buffet spread.

The loaf is easy to prepare ahead of time, making it a convenient option for busy holiday hosts. Once assembled, it can be wrapped and refrigerated until ready to serve.

Serves: 4-6

Preparation time: 15 minutes plus standing time || Cooking time: 0

You’ll Need:

  • 1 circular loaf
  • 3 tbsp cranberry sauce
  • 6-8 long Cos Leaves
  • 150g mozzarella, sliced
  • jar roasted vegetables (Peppers, aubergines, courgettes etc)
  • leftover turkey breast torn into pieces

What To Do:

Turkey is a popular Christmas ingredient because it is rich in protein and low in fat, while mozzarella adds calcium and a mild, creamy flavour.

Together, they create a balanced and satisfying meal. The attractive layered appearance of the sandwich loaf also makes it ideal for festive tables and family celebrations.

Method:

  1. Firstly, cut the top off the loaf approx ¼ the way down and pull the soft bread out of the centre to make a bowl shape of the crust with a 2cm layer of bread inside.
  2. Secondly, spread half of the cranberry sauce in a thin layer all over the inside of the bread bowl then layer half of the Cos leaves over the bottom, tearing them to fit. Add a layer of mozzarella then the roast veg then the turkey and top with the rest of the cranberry. Repeat this till the bread bowl is full. End with a layer of Cos leaves.
  3. Last but not least, replace the lid and tightly wrap the whole thing in cling film and balance a can on top to weigh it down. Leave to firm up for 1-4 hrs. Cut into slices to serve.

Note: Also dry the roast veg and mozzarella on kitchen roll to avoid the bread getting too soggy.
