Leftover Turkey Sandwich

This marks the last of my daily posts. I will cut them back to Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I'm starting classes soon & along with working at my (real) job, I won't have time to do daily posts. But that's okay because I have something planned for you guys three times a week until March!

I don't know if you guys are like me, but I get tired of having Thanksgiving leftovers. I love the food, but the monotony of it all really bores me & I lose the desire to eat all the food that's left in my fridge. There's a really great bread store here & they have some really amazing sandwiches. They have this sandwich called "Turkey Dinner". It's great! When I first read it on the menu I thought it sounded disgusting, but my husband decided to give it a shot. It was so good, I stole half of it from him. But why go buy it when I have so much turkey at my dispense? They use cracked wheat bread, but I decided to put it on wheat for me and white for the hubster. (Sorry no pictures for this one! I forgot!)

Ingredients (amounts depends on your taste):
turkey
cream cheese
cranberry sauce
lettuce
bread (I toasted mine a bit before assembling the sandwich)

Mix cream cheese & cranberry sauce together.
Layer turkey, cranberry mixture, and lettuce on bread.
Enjoy! It's super easy & so yummy!

The World's Best Dressing

Stuffing goes inside the turkey, dressing goes on the side (thank you college!). This has to be the best dressing recipe ever conceived! I made this for 6 people and had to hide the second portion to keep it from being eaten. It's not healthy in any way and is definitely NOT for vegetarians. So, animal lovers may want to scroll through this post really fast.

I originally got the recipe from a friend who got it from a friend who got it from a friend (this quickly turning into an REO Speedwagon song). I made some changes to fit our flavor palettes more.

Ingredients:

1lb bacon (get the cheap stuff, it works better & cut it up as best you can)

1lb sausage (just crumble it in your hand as you add it to the pot)

2 apples (peeled, cored, and diced)

1c mushrooms (chopped)

2c celery (chopped)

2 onions (chopped)--not pictured

1/2lb butter--not pictured

1lb dried bread cubes

2c vegetable stock

2tsp Italian seasoning

1tsp sage

Preheat oven to 350F. Put all the meat, veggies, and apples in a big stock pot & cook over medium until veggies are tender & meat is cooked through.

Add butter, stock, and seasonings. Cook until butter is melted, turn off heat, then add bread cubes.

Stir until cubes are well mixed then pour into baking dish (I had to use 2 because I didn't have one big enough). Cook for 30 minutes if you like crunchy. If not, serve as is. 

Keep in mind, this is only half!
