 Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cooked, chopped chicken or turkey
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon minced dry onion
  • 1/2 cup lowfat salad dressing
  • 6 hamburger buns

Directions: Remember to Wash Your Hands!

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix all filling ingredients together.
3. Divide evenly and spread on buns; place on baking sheet.
4. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until sandwich filling is hot and cheese melts. Cover buns with foil the last 5 minutes of baking if bread becomes too brown.


Helpful Hints:

These sandwiches are a great way to use leftover chicken or turkey which is much less expensive than buying cans of chicken meat. The filling ingredients can be made ahead of time, then added to buns and baked at mealtime. You can also save money if you buy day-old buns for this recipe ' you are going to 'toast' the bread anyway. If you don't have hamburger buns, hot dog buns make a great skinny sandwich!

Safety Tip:

If you have sandwiches left after the meal, remember to get those into the refrigerator just as soon as you are done eating. Keep leftovers where you will see them in the refrigerator and use within two or three days.
