Scale

Sandwich

  • 2 slices nutty bread
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • Pinch poultry seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • Green leaf lettuce leaves
  • 1/2 lb sliced leftover turkey
  • 1/4 cup cranberry sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mayo mixture: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, poultry seasoning, chopped chives, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Spread mayo on bread: Evenly spread the prepared mayonnaise mixture onto one side of each slice of nutty bread, ensuring a flavorful base for your sandwich.
  3. Assemble the sandwich: On one slice of bread, layer green leaf lettuce, then place the sliced leftover turkey evenly on top, followed by spreading the cranberry sauce over the turkey. Top with the second slice of bread, mayo side down.
  4. Serve: Gently press the sandwich together, cut it in half diagonally or down the middle, and serve immediately for a fresh, satisfying meal.

Notes

  • For added crunch, consider toasting the nutty bread slightly before assembly.
  • Add a slice of your favorite cheese if desired for extra flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of cranberry sauce based on your preferred sweetness and tartness.
  • Perfect use for Thanksgiving leftovers or any leftover roasted turkey.
  • Can be wrapped and refrigerated for up to 24 hours but may be best fresh for optimal texture.
