A French dip sandwich is definitely a family favorite and if you like this turkey sandwich, you’ll love my Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches. I think both of these dip sandwiches would be great on croissant rolls too, just like my Hot Ham and Cheese Croissant Roll Sandwiches

Why This Sandwich Works

The turkey breast comes out juicy and flavorful. Roast the turkey breast earlier in the day or even the day before. Slice it when ready to assemble the sandwiches.

This is a great way to use leftover Thanksgiving turkey from my Brined Turkey BreastsSlow Cooker Turkey Breasts or my, Crockpot Turkey and Stuffing.

A turkey dip sandwich is versatile, goes with so many sides, and is enjoyed by the whole family. It’s great to enjoy at brunch, lunch, or dinner! 

Gather the Ingredients

All the ingredients being used for this recipe.
  • Turkey: I prefer to use a bone-in turkey breast, but boneless will also work.
  • Butter: Salted or unsalted is fine.
  • Herbs and spices: minced garlic, Herbs de Provence, kosher salt, and black pepper
  • Provolone cheese: You can use whatever cheese you prefer.
  • Crusty Rolls: any bread can be used like a delicious No Knead Artisan Bread
  • Flour: Helps to thicken the gravy. 
  • Stock: Chicken stock or turkey stock.

How to make turkey french dip

  • Step 1: Place a wire rack on a sheet pan and spray with cooking spray. Place turkey breasts on the rack. Mix softened butter with herbs and spices together in a small bowl and then use a pastry brush to brush the butter mixture all over the turkey breasts. Be sure to get the herb butter under the skin as well.
  • Step 2: Bake turkey until the internal temperature reaches 165F. A meat thermometer should be used in the thickest part of the turkey breast to ensure it’s properly cooked before moving on.

  • Step 4: Add chicken stock and let simmer until it thickens up. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Assemble sandwiches and serve with gravy for dipping.

Recipe tips

  • Instead of provolone cheese, you can try other cheese that you prefer. Swiss cheese, pepper Jack, or slices of mozzarella would be good options to try. 
  • You can toast your sandwich bread pieces until golden brown, if desired. 
  • Pop the tender turkey sandwich under your broiler for a few minutes so the cheese melts on your sandwich. 
  • You can use leftover gravy from holidays, other meals, or leftover au jus gravy instead of making your own if needed.
