Notes

Store leftover turkey and cheese sandwiches in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep the broth in a separate covered container in the fridge for 3–4 days. Reheat the broth on the stove and warm the sandwich in the oven or toaster oven to keep the roll crisp. For best flavor, cook the onions until golden and heat the broth well before serving. Toast rolls lightly to avoid sogginess, and use thin turkey slices for easier eating. Variations include using roast beef instead of turkey or adding horseradish sauce for a spicy kick.
