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!

Jerry says
Our 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

My 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!

Would it be totally inappropriate to admit that I would like to lick the screen??

Your sandwich looks juicy and delicious! The best possible use of cranberry sauce, in my opinion.
tigerfish says
Hmmmm…I would like that. But I always prefer honey glazed ham to turkeys.

I’m so embarrased! I’ve never had a turkey and cranberry sauce sandwich. I may have to make a turkey just to try it! With lettuce and mayo…interesting…

The rare beef with balsamic reduction sauce sandwich sounds pretty good.
Pixie says
Isn’t turkey with cranberry sauce the ultimate sandwich ever? Love it!

Omigod, 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
Beautiful Picture! I’m not even a fan of cranberries and I’d make that sammy!

I think this is the best sandwich in the world. Or maybe the one with stuffing instead of bacon. Either one. The photos make me so hungry I can't stand it. 🙂

My 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!
Danelle says
I love that you've already had Thanksgiving in Canada so we can see all of your delicious recipes in time for Thanksgiving in the U.S. I love that you put bacon on this sandwich!
