Hot open faced sandwich with seitan & gravy
Leftovers don't get better than this! Repurpose seitan, gravy, and mashed potatoes into a very nostalgic dinner. Don't forget the knife and fork! This open faced sandwich can't be eaten with hands alone.
Servings: 4 people

Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon organic canola oil or your preferred oil
- 8 ounces seitan chicken sliced thin
- 4 slices bread
- 2 cups vegan mashed potatoes
- 1 cup vegan turkey gravy plus more if needed
- 1 green onion sliced (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Bring a non-stick skillet to a medium heat with oil. Put the thinly sliced seitan chicken in the skillet and cook until browned on one side. Then flip with a spatula, and let the other side cook a couple minutes more, until browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
- To serve, put one slice of bread on each individual plate. Top each piece of bread with a few slices of browned seitan, about ½ cup of vegan mashed potatoes, and about ¼ cup of vegan turkey gravy (or more if desired). Finish with a sprinkling of green onions as an optional garnish. Serve right away.
Notes
The bread texture is best when it is still soft. So if yours is a little stale, I recommend either warming the bread in the microwave for 30 seconds or so, toasting it in a dry skillet, or popping it into the toaster oven until just warmed.
Homemade seitan chicken is my preferred protein for this recipe. However, if you don't have any on hand, you can use vegan deli slices (like Tofurky), vegan holiday roast, or your favorite store-bought chicken-style seitan.
