Thanksgiving Sandwich (from Leftovers)
This leftover Thanksgiving sandwich with stuffing is a classic post-Thanksgiving must. Slices of sturdy bread, mayonnaise, olive oil, or butter, cranberry sauce, turkey, stuffing, and gravy. The best part of Thanksgiving…besides the people at the table.
Ingredients
- 4 slices sturdy white bread
- Olive oil, mayonnaise, or unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup leftover cranberry sauce or cranberry relish
- About 6 ounces leftover roast turkey
- 1/2 cup leftover stuffing, warm or cold
- 1/4 cup gravy, warm
Instructions
- Slather 1 side of each slice of bread with the oil, mayonnaise, or butter.
- Divvy the cranberry sauce among all 4 bread slices, spreading it almost all the way to the edge of the bread.
- Top the cranberry sauce with the turkey, spreading it all the way to the edge of the bread. Add the stuffing and gravy, dividing them evenly between 2 of the bread slices. Stack the remaining bread slices on top, cranberry sauce side down.
- Cut each sandwich in half and demolish without delay.
Notes
- Choosing your bread--You need a firm bread to hold all of the sandwich filling together. Choose a sturdy artisan-style or rustic bread.
- Turkey--Use a mixture of light and dark turkey meat for the most flavorful sandwiches.
