The Ultimate Thanksgiving Turkey Sandwich

The best thing about Thanksgiving is the great number of containers of leftovers that beckon in the fridge for the following few days. I love having turkey soup, a re-creation of turkey dinner, mixed green salad with turkey and turkey sandwiches. Basically, I eat turkey anything, take a nap and I’m good. This has led me to gain back a couple pounds that I had shed earlier, so this was my last indulging sandwich before I say good bye to gravy and gluten’ed bread yet again. 

This makes a huge towering turkey sandwich that you have to use both hands to eat. Use any kind of bread, any kind of combinations, add cheese or bacon, or tomatoes, or cucumber…basically anything you want. This is my last turkey sandwich until Christmas comes around.

  4. Oo I made congee yesterday too! I was going to put up the recipe, but haven't had the time yet.

    I'm glad you like my blog Reiley! You know you can make the exact same sandwich without meat...or tofu or seitan or any other "fake" meat... it'll probably taste all the same! :)
