TED ALLEN’S LEFTOVER TURKEY SANDWICH

Nearly 75 percent of the turkey eaten in the U.S. is not eaten on Thanksgiving Day, but in sandwiches throughout the year. Television celebrity and cookbook author Ted Allen advises cooks to prepare for the post-holiday sandwich bonanza.
“Thanksgiving is just one day, but we’re definitely going to be enjoying turkey for several days after that,” Allen said. “It’s one of the great pleasures of the holiday, and of course, we’re going to do that primarily by making turkey sandwiches. So when you’re shopping for your Thanksgiving dinner, remember to put some sliced bread in the cart.”
The food and wine expert created a special leftover turkey sandwich recipe for the occasion:
 

Leftover Turkey Sandwich

• 2 thick slices of bread toasted
• 2 thick slices of leftover roasted turkey
• 2 tablespoons leftover cranberry sauce
• 2 tablespoons leftover mashed sweet potato
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage

Lay the two slices of toast side by side and spread the cranberries on one slice and the mashed sweet potato on the other slice.

Sprinkle with fresh sage and place turkey on the cranberry side.

Top with the sweet potato side and cut diagonal.

Ready to eat.
