Bigger, Better Leftovers
I included a couple of sandwiches in my Nov. 26 story on holiday leftovers.
But I wanted to tell you about one more, a hunka hunka sandwich from the folks at Samuel Adams.
This uses 8 ounces of turkey to make ONE sandwich. It also has stuffing—moistened with Samuel Adams beer—cheese, bacon and more.
You tell me if it’s over the top—if you have room for this big a sandwich after the Thanksgiving feast.
The Ultimate Samuel Adams Cranberry Lambic Leftover T-Day Sandwich
Recipe created by Samuel Adams Chef Partner David Burke.
• 8-oz sliced leftover dark and/or white meat turkey, sliced
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp mayo
• 2 pieces, cooked bacon
• ½ cup leftover stuffing
• 1 oz Samuel Adams Cranberry Lambic to moisten stuffing
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• Leftover green beans or other veggies
• 2 slices thick white bread
On outside of bread slices, spread butter evenly (as if you were making a grilled cheese). On the inside of the slices, spread mayo evenly. Stack turkey, cheese, bacon, stuffing (with beer) and veggies on top of one slice of bread. Place other slice on top pressing down firmly to hold together. Insert four toothpicks into each corner of the sandwich. If necessary, cut tops of toothpicks off so they are not sticking out.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a nonstick pan, brown on each side, for approximately 3 minutes each side. Remove from pan and place on oven sheet. Roast for 10 minutes at 350 degrees, flipping at halfway point.
Makes 1 big sandwich.
Suggested beverage: Samuel Adams Cranberry Lambic.
