The Thanksgiving Sandwich
Makes 1 sandwich

Turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, gravy (maybe mayo!?), leftover salad (yes, it’s a thing)… are just some of the ingredients to add to your day-after sandwich that elevate it beyond the main event leaving you conquering the task of Mastering the Thanksgiving Sandwich.

2 slices of nutty day old bread, toasted on one side (I do this under the broiler)
2-3 big tablespoons of mayo, cranberry, mashed potatoes and/over stuffing (choose 2) at room temperature
3-4 big slices of white turkey meat, preferably with the skin on and warmed
A large handful of leftover salad
Gravy or hot sauce, optional

Place your bread, untoasted side-up and slather with mayo, cranberry, potatoes or stuffing. I choose two, as to not overwhelm the sandwich, dressing each side with one.

Layer in turkey and the mound a huge pile of leftover salad. It’ll be dressed and slightly softened. Drizzle with hot sauce or gravy and sandwich.

AK Cranberry Preserves // $18

Cranberry sauce that's just sweet enough but focuses on highlighting the delightful tartness of cranberries. Made with rye and star anise, the consistency is not only perfect for your table but for spreading on day-after sandwiches and nestling on your cheeseboard.

Rufolo Salad Plate // $30

There are few things I love more than Italian ceramics. This combines all the classic North Eastern feels I have from growing up with the subtle nuances of what I've grown to love as a chef obsession with all things Italian.

Cream Plaid Icon Shirt // $94

Classic and perfect for cooking to table, which is a style I care to think I perfected as a woman that didn't always feel comfortable with traditional "chef clothes." Even better for Thanksgiving or the day after.
