The Plan-Your-Leftovers-Around-This-Turkey-Sandwich Sandwich

Grilled sourdough bread, sweet cranberry relish, leftover turkey, bacon, greens, and Havarti cheese make the Plan-Your-Leftovers-Around-This-Turkey-Sandwich Sandwich the absolute BEST way to use up Thanksgiving turkey. You’ll see it earned its name for a reason!

I think that extra long title pretty well explains it.

Which is probably for the best because this will be the opposite of an extra long post.

I have too many things to do you guys!!! Annnd I’m pretty sure that at this point you do too. Even if you aren’t cooking this week and you are among the lucky few that get to descend on the party with your fabulous self and a bottle of wine, there is too much going on to be dragging things out. Maybe you are traveling. Maybe you are standing in line at the grocery store for 5 years because only one cash register is open. Maybe you are shopping online, hanging Christmas lights, or staying glued to the TV with my kids and praying for snow.

You might be cleaning the house. Or you could be like me and are wishing you had time to clean the house (or at least wear clothes without flour on them).

Whatever is going on in your world, I hope it’s crazy in a good way, full of family, friends, fun, and food.

Let’s talk sandwiches.

yep. That about sums it up.
