Ingredients

  • 3 slices COBS Bread Country Grain Loaf, thick slice
  • 2-3 slices Leftover Turkey
  • 2 tbsp Cranberry Sauce
  • 4 tbsp Gravy
  • 2 tbsp Water
  • 2 tbsp Mashed Potatoes
  • 2 tbsp Stuffing
  • Handful of Spinach

Directions

  1. Toast bread slices.
  2. In a non-stick frying pan mix mashed potatoes and stuffing and turn element on high heat. Heat up for 1 minute stirring every so often, set aside. OR add mashed potatoes and stuffing to a microwave-safe bowl, and heat on high for 1 minute.
  3. Using the same pan, mix gravy and water and let simmer for 2 minutes, set aside.
  4. Assembly time! Using a spoon spread 1 tbsp of mayonnaise on each 2 toasted bread slices.
  5. Add spinach to one slice of bread, then top with with the mashed potato & stuffing mix.
  6. On the other slice of bread, add turkey slices and top with cranberry sauce.
  7. With your third slice, the “moist maker”, either dip each side of the bread in gravy or spread 3 tbsp of the gravy on the bread.
  8. Now build your sandwich like so: the toasted slice that contains the mashed potatoes/stuffing mix goes on the bottom, add the gravy-soaked slice in the middle, and complete the double-decker sandwich by adding the toast piece with the turkey and cranberry on top.
