Thanksgiving Leftovers Sandwich
Thanksgiving Twenty-Thirteen has come and gone. Unfortunately, the added pounds and leftovers did not go with the change of the calendar. However, I’m here to help you with one of those problems. Sadly, you’ll have to deal with the pounds yourself.
Last year, I blogged about the Thanksgiving Burrito. That monster is a good way to rid yourself of those Thanksgiving goodies.
The Thanksgiving sandwich, for all intents and purposes, is the same as the burrito, only in sandwich form. And for my money, its my personal favorite way to eat the Thanksgiving leftovers.
For one, fresh baked bread (homemade or from your local bakery) out weighs a tortilla any day of the week (unless of course you’re eating a mexican style burrito which would be extremely difficult to eat between two slices of bread. Then again…..hmmmm….).
A burrito might be easier to eat, but I believe that a properly constructed sandwich allows all of the ingredients to meld together and I don’t think you can get the same thing when its rolled up.
And lastly, its grilled. With butter!!!
Winner by majority decision, the sandwich. (although you can’t go wrong with either).
While I am providing a detailed recipe, please use it very loosely, but I do think the order you assemble it is important.
Also, if you don’t like cranberry sauce, feel free to omit, but it really is, in my opinion, the essence of this sandwich.
Enjoy!
