The day after a festive meal is always the laziest day for me. I hate doing anything. All I want to do is sit in front of the TV and relax. Of course, that all ends with – mama, I’m hungry. Thank god for leftovers!! Right?

Whenever I have leftover turkey, roast chicken, roast beef, or roast lamb, they beg to be used in a sandwich. The great thing about Thanksgiving is, of course, that leftover cranberry sauce.

Ingredients and substitutes

• Bread – We love challah, but you could use any sandwich bread for this sandwich.
• Veggies – Make sure to cut the veggies thin so they are easier to add to the sandwich; otherwise, they will be hard to bite into.
• Butter – you can omit the butter, but it adds a little more to the delicious challah. Alternatively, you can use mayonnaise, mustard, or even cream cheese spread.
• Cheese – I used two slices of Emantle cheese, but cheddar or any slice of cheese would work for this.
• Cranberry sauce – In the fall, I have cranberry sauce and roast turkey or chicken on hand. I use fig jam, marmalade, or something similar for the rest of the time.

Step-by-step: Turkey Sandwich

• Use a bread knife and slice the challah in between, and spread a generous amount of butter, followed by the cranberry sauce.
• Top it with slices of cheese and turkey, followed by the lettuce, cucumber, and tomato.
• Sandwich the top layer and secure it with a cocktail stick or skewer.
  Note – the stick or skewer helps keep everything in place, but make sure to remove it or tell the person so they don’t bite into it accidentally.
• Cut the challah in half for presentation or serve whole. Alternatively, you can also toast the sandwich in a
