Leftover Thanksgiving Banh Mi is the ultimate way to transform roast turkey, gravy and Brussels sprouts into bold Vietnamese street food. This Leftover Thanksgiving Banh Mi recipe recreates the light, airy baguette texture traditionally debated in Vietnam, then fills it with smoky wok fried turkey and sprouts finished with fish sauce, palm sugar and lime.
The key to a great banh mi is the bread. This version compares plain flour dough against a mix of plain flour and rice flour, with vitamin C used as a natural bread improver to create a lighter crumb. Once baked and crisp, it becomes the perfect vessel for rich leftover flavours.
