Ingredients
Scale
- 4 English muffin halves
- 4 slices turkey
- 1 cup (240 ml) stuffing
- 4 poached eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) cranberry sauce
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) turkey gravy
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice
Instructions
- Carefully split English muffins and toast until golden and crisp at medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes.
- Gently warm leftover turkey and stuffing in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Fill a wide saucepan with 3 inches of water and bring to a soft simmer around 180°F, creating gentle bubbles without rapid boiling.
- Crack each egg into a small ramekin, then slide carefully into the simmering water, cooking for 3-4 minutes until whites are set and yolks remain runny.
- Prepare hollandaise gravy by whisking together warm pan drippings, butter, egg yolks, and a splash of cream until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Assemble the dish by placing toasted muffin halves as the base, then layer with warm stuffing and sliced turkey.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer poached eggs and place one atop each muffin half.
- Generously drizzle the hollandaise gravy over the eggs, allowing it to cascade down the layers.
- Finish by spooning cranberry sauce around the plate or directly over the eggs for a festive, tangy complement.
Notes
- Swap traditional English muffins with gluten-free alternatives for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Use leftover Thanksgiving turkey for an efficient and delicious way to repurpose holiday meals.
- Ensure eggs are fresh and at room temperature for smoother, more even poaching results.
- Keep hollandaise sauce warm but not hot to prevent separation, stirring gently to maintain smooth consistency.
