Plan for leftovers ahead of time by thinking about how you want to use up your meal. This gourmet turkey sandwich has the perfect sweet and savory flavor profile. By using apple slices to complement the turkey and brie gives this ordinary sandwich a decadent twist, especially when paired with a Dijon-balsamic reduction.
