These aren't your average sloppy joes. For this cozy hot sandwich idea, lean ground turkey and mushrooms combine to make a mouthwatering base. The real kicker is the tangy Greek yogurt-goat cheese spread that goes on top. And the fact it takes less than 30 minutes to pull together in your skillet makes this warm sandwich recipe a keeper for busy nights.

For a winter vegetarian sandwich idea (that even meat-lovers will crave!), look no further than this take on eggplant parmesan. Instead of breading it with traditional bread crumbs or panko, we've doused the purple-hued veggie with crushed croutons. The result is a drool-worthy crunchy sandwich with the perfect amount of tang from marinara and indulgence from melted cheese.

This hot sandwich recipe has all the same great flavors of the classic Reuben you know and love minus the meat. Instead of making them one at a time, these winter sandwiches come together on one pan (hence "pan-wiches")  in the oven. It's got sauerkraut, roasted red peppers, swiss cheese, and the staple Thousand Island dressing all piled on toasted pretzel rolls.
