This is a great way to use leftover Turkey and Ham from Thanksgiving.
Use your own judgement on the amount of meat, it really depends on how thick you slice it.
You can assemble these sandwiches ahead of time and wrap them in plastic wrap in the fridge. That makes them hold together better and you won't need toothpicks. Then just batter and fry. The batter will be like pancake batter, you may need to vary the amount of water.
