Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Sliced leftover turkey
- 4 tablespoons Cranberry sauce
- 1 cup Stuffing
- 1 cup Mashed potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Gravy
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese (slices)
- 2 leaves Leaf lettuce
- 4 slices Tomato (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Whole grain mustard
- 3 slices Bread (thick slices, any type)
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Toast the three slices of bread lightly using a toaster or in a skillet with butter for an extra golden and crisp exterior.
Spread mayonnaise on one slice of bread and whole grain mustard on another slice for added flavor.
Start building your sandwich: Place one slice of bread (with mayonnaise) on the bottom of a cutting board or plate.
Add 4 ounces of thinly sliced leftover turkey evenly across the bread.
Layer 2 tablespoons of cranberry sauce over the turkey.
Evenly spread 1/2 cup of stuffing over the cranberry sauce as the next layer.
Stack one slice of cheddar cheese over the stuffing, followed by 1 leaf of lettuce and 2 slices of tomato.
Add the second slice of bread (mustard side facing up) to begin the next layer.
Evenly layer the remaining 4 ounces of turkey over this slice of bread.
Spread the remaining 2 tablespoons of cranberry sauce on top of the turkey and add 1 cup of mashed potatoes on top, spreading evenly.
Drizzle 4 tablespoons of warm gravy over the mashed potatoes for a rich, savory touch.
Stack the final slice of cheddar cheese over the gravy, followed by 1 leaf of lettuce and the remaining 2 slices of tomato.
Top the sandwich with the final slice of toasted bread to complete the towering masterpiece.
Gently press the sandwich together to secure the layers, then carefully slice it in half if desired.
Serve immediately with napkins for this wonderfully messy, mile-high creation!
