Everybody loves a Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings: roasted turkey, savory stuffing, creamy sweet potatoes topped with marshmallows and lightly toasted until golden. We’re practically salivating, just writing about it. What you likely don't enjoy is having the same exact meal for three days straight while everyone in your household struggles to finish all the inevitable leftovers. Before the bird hits the oven, you’re probably already imagining the cries of “Aw, Mom, not turkey again” destined to come.
This sandwich is our favorite fix for leftover fatigue. Made with succulent turkey piled high with layers of crispy stuffing, cranberry mayo, and sweet potato mash, it’s a tasty fall twist on a turkey club that will have everyone (yes, even picky teens!) asking for more.
