One of my favourite parts about the Thanksgiving dinner has to be enjoying the leftovers for the rest of the week and in particular the turkey leftovers. Inevitably the first thing that I do with the leftover breast meat is make roast turkey club sandwiches and they always includes a healthy dose of homemade cranberry sauce ! There is just something magical about the combo of turkey, cranberry sauce, mayonnaise, crisp lettuce and juicy tomatoes and I am hopelessly addicted to it! Over the last week I have enjoyed a number of these sandwiches and for a few of them I decided to play around a bit by making them more like turkey club sandwiches by adding bacon.
Just look at all of that beautiful cranberry sauce!
Also good with peameal bacon!

December 27, 2007 at 2:27 amOur favourite leftover turkey sandwich is turkey, mayo, cranberries, stuffing, AND gravy! My god, it is a heart attack awaiting to hit me but oh so good. Sadly we didn’t have turkey this year.
I did enjoy a secret sandwich of rare beef tenderloin on bread pmoistened with the port balsamic reduction sauce this afternoon while Paul napped! LOL

December 27, 2007 at 3:26 amMy favorite leftover sandwich is turkey, mashed potatoes, collard greens, gravy, and cranberry sauce on a day-old roll. I thought tamales, chili verde and adobo was a good Christmas dinner, but you just made me realize I missed out on my sandwich!

December 27, 2007 at 9:29 amHmmmm…I would like that. But I always prefer honey glazed ham to turkeys.

January 10, 2008 at 8:16 pmOmigod, this sounds wonderful! The nice mix of sweet and savory reminds me of a bacon, marmalade and pumpernickel sandwich I make, also to die for.
Jenny says

October 24, 2012 at 11:53 pmMy favorite part about Thanksgiving was always the day after. We would warm up all the leftovers and have the Thanksgiving meal all over again. But I enjoyed it a lot more because I hadn't spent the whole day cooking!
