Description

This classic Thanksgiving Sandwich takes leftover turkey dinner to a whole new level with layers of moist turkey, rich stuffing, tangy cranberry sauce, and a unique slice of gravy-soaked bread as the ‘moist maker’. Perfectly balanced with mayonnaise and crisp lettuce, this sandwich is simple to assemble yet packed with comforting holiday flavors.


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

  • 1/2 cup turkey gravy


Instructions

  1. Spread Mayonnaise: Spread a small amount of mayonnaise evenly onto two slices of bread to add moisture and flavor to the sandwich layers.
  2. 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.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich: On one mayo-coated slice, layer half the cranberry sauce, then the roasted turkey slices, followed by stuffing, green leaf lettuce if using, and the rest of the cranberry sauce. Place the gravy-soaked bread slice on top.
  4. 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.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the sandwich if desired and enjoy this moist and flavorful Thanksgiving leftover creation immediately.

Notes

  • The slice of gravy-soaked bread, dubbed the ‘moist maker,’ is what truly elevates this sandwich above the ordinary.
  • Using leftover roasted turkey and stuffing from your Thanksgiving feast makes this an economical and delicious way to enjoy your holiday meal again.
  • Optional lettuce adds a fresh crunch but can be omitted if you prefer a classic hot sandwich feel.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect texture and warmth of the gravy-soaked bread.
