Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Spread
- 3 slices bread
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Fillings
- 6 ounces roasted turkey, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
- 1/2 cup stuffing
- 2 green leaf lettuce leaves (optional)
Moist Maker
- 1/2 cup turkey gravy
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Spread a small amount of mayonnaise onto two slices of bread to add flavor and moisture.
- Soak the third slice: Dip the remaining slice of bread into the turkey gravy until it is well soaked, then set it aside. This slice acts as the ‘moist maker’ in the sandwich.
- Assemble the sandwich: On one of the mayonnaise-spread slices, layer the cranberry sauce, roasted turkey slices, stuffing, and green leaf lettuce if using. Then place the gravy-soaked bread slice on top of these layers.
- Complete and serve: Top with the second mayonnaise-spread bread slice. Gently press the sandwich together to keep all the layers intact and enjoy your moist and flavorful Thanksgiving sandwich!
Notes

- The recipe is very flexible; you can customize the layering order or add other leftovers such as mashed potatoes if desired.
- Using thinly sliced turkey allows the sandwich to be stacked without becoming too bulky and helps all flavors meld well.
- Optional lettuce adds a fresh crunch, but the sandwich is great even without it.
- This is a perfect recipe for enjoying Thanksgiving leftovers in a quick and satisfying way.
