Turkey Leftovers: Turkey, Brie and Cranberry Sandwich

November 23, 2015 by Talia Bunting 2 Comments

Originally I planned on posting this sandwich later in the week. But then I worried you were getting your last minute shopping in today and tomorrow and I wanted you to have all the information you needed for the most important meal on Friday: turkey leftovers. (Which if you’re a Barnes is breakfast. If you wait till lunch it’s all gone).

I love it almost as much as I love Thanksgiving dinner. I won’t lie to you, I make a lot of cranberry sauce so that I can eat these sandwiches for a week. (If I run out of turkey sometimes I pick up a rotisserie chicken). The combination of sour, tart, sweet and crunch is just too good.

My Notes on Using Turkey Leftovers

I don’t have exact measurements listed because everyone likes different proportions. I’m also going to assume you know how to assemble a sandwich. If my assumption is wrong, probably you should start reading this book from Gloria Goddard from 1930: How to Make Sandwiches and Box Lunches. Oh and be sure to read the lone review, cause it’s hilarious.

I vacillate on whether to warm the turkey before I assemble the sandwich. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. It helps the brie melt a little, and brie is the key to this sandwich. I love brie.

I recommend making your own mayonnaise if possible. Homemade condiments are where its at!

If you have a tomato add that too. I don’t know where you find a ripe tomato in the United States this time of year. Under no circumstances should you be purchasing greenhouse tomatoes. THEY HAVE NO FLAVOR AND WILL RUIN THE SANDWICH.
