Turkey Carver Sandwich

Description: Wishing that Thanksgiving could last longer? The Turkey Carver sandwich is a great way to give fresh life to Thanksgiving leftovers. The sandwich is layered with bit of cranberry and mayo (or gravy) for that mouth-watering taste of celebration. We like to use crisp lettuce and a baguette to add a bit of extra crunch. The combination is surprisingly festive and absolutely delicious. We think you'll love it as much as the holiday feast itself. Now you won't forget the day after Thanksgiving either!
