Thanksgiving Sandwich

On most days, I'm very methodical about how I eat my meal.  I tend to eat all of the salad, then all of the entree, then all of the side dish. Thanksgiving is one of the only times when I don't care if my food mixes together.  In fact, I encourage it.  Turkey and gravy is pretty good, but turkey and gravy with cranberries and mashed potatoes is even better.  This sandwich is my attempt to capture the awesomeness of a Thanksgiving dinner in a slightly easier to eat form.

Thanksgiving Sandwich

Ingredients:

• 2 slices of bread
• Mashed potatoes
• Turkey
• Stuffing/Dressing
• Gravy
• Cranberries

Directions:

1. Spread mashed potatoes on both slices of bread, making sure you have enough around the edges to hold everything else in.
2. Layer the turkey, gravy, stuffing/dressing, and cranberries on one slice of bread.  Put the other slice of bread on top, adding more mashed potatoes around the edges as needed.
3. Place a large skillet over medium-low heat.  Lightly butter the top and bottom of the sandwich, then grill, flipping once, until golden brown on both sides.

Notes:
If you turn the heat much above medium-low, the bottom of the bread will start to burn while the middle is still cold.  It's worth the extra couple of minutes.
