Leftover Turkey and Cranberry Sandwich

November 28, 2014

I’m not trying to tell you what to do with your Thanksgiving leftovers, which we take very seriously around here, but just in case you need any ideas I thought I would share my favorite way to enjoy them.  A turkey and cranberry sandwich is my all time favorite sandwich.  If any restaurant offers one on the menu, I will order it without even looking any further.

The recipe here lies not in the sandwich itself, but in the cranberry pecan mayonnaise.  Just a little twist to make your thanksgiving leftovers more than just leftovers!

Turkey And Cranberry Sandwich cut in half, with the halves stacked on top of each other.

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend.  I successfully resisted the urge to set up my Christmas tree before Thanksgiving, so that is on the agenda for today.  Happy Leftover’s Day!

Description

The cranberry pecan mayonnaise will make your Thanksgiving leftovers more than just leftovers!


Ingredients

Scale

Cranberry Pecan Mayonnaise (makes enough for 4 sandwiches)

  • 1/2 cup good quality mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup whole cranberry sauce
  • 1/4 cup toasted chopped pecans

For the Sandwich (per sandwich)

  • 1/4 pound sliced turkey
  • 2 slices bread
  • 2 slices provolone cheese
  • baby spinach or greens

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix cranberry sauce and mayonnaise together. Add toasted pecans. Assemble the sandwich and enjoy!

Notes

To toast your pecans, place them in a dry pan on medium heat, stirring occasionally. They will start to smell nice and toasty after a few minutes. Watch carefully so they don’t burn. This will release their oils and enhance the flavor.
