Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Condiments
- 3 slices bread
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Fillings
- 6 ounces roasted turkey, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup stuffing
- 2 green leaf lettuce leaves (optional)
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
Gravy

Instructions
- Spread Mayonnaise: Spread a small amount of mayonnaise evenly onto two slices of bread to add moisture and flavor to the sandwich layers.
- Prepare Gravy-Soaked Bread: Dip the remaining slice of bread into the warm turkey gravy, allowing it to soak fully. Set this slice aside carefully so it doesn’t fall apart.

- Top and Finalize: Complete the sandwich by placing the second mayo-coated slice of bread on top. Gently press the sandwich together to hold all layers in place.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice the sandwich if desired and enjoy this moist and flavorful Thanksgiving leftover creation immediately.
