Don’t Knock It Till You Try It!

November 21, 2010

One of the most popular (and my favorite) ways to use up your left over turkey is in a sandwich. Whether on potato, whole wheat, or white bread and then smothered with mustard, mayo or both… a big fat turkey sandwich several hours after the big feast and a little nap is a good thing!

A leftover turkey sandwich, anyway you like it, is a no brainier for those Thanksgiving day leftovers. And I know what you are thinking “Heather, you are not really going to try and share a ‘recipe’ for a turkey sandwich, are you?” Well my friends, to get technical, no this is not a recipe per say. Just an idea. An idea you may find a little strange. But I am asking you, please don’t knock it tell you try it.

This classic turkey sandwich has all the makings: whole wheat bread, check; leftover Thanksgiving turkey check, check, Miracle Whip (ok I am sure there are Miracle Whip haters out there but it is essential to this sandwich), and then the star of this turkey sandwich: whole berry cranberry sauce.

Yup folks, that’s right. You are going to mix some of you leftover cranberry sauce, with the Miracle Whip to create a sweet and tangy smear to spruce up that plain ole’ traditional turkey sandwich! I know it sounds odd, and I was skeptical myself, but this is delicious! Plus not only do you have a tasty turkey sandwich that is perfect for the holidays, you are using up TWO things that you probably have consuming your fridge that need to get eaten up. So go try it today (or after Thanksgiving) and let me know what you think! : )
