Everyone is so different. It all started as a youth. Every thanksgiving I had with my grandmother had a long standing ritual. Later that night on thanksgiving all or most of the men and if you were old enough kids would build and pack up a left over sandwich. It was a ritual that on the following day most of the women would have the day planed to go out shopping and the guys would take their packed lunch and leave in the early AM to go fishing on the delta. That is where it all started. Naturally you would want it large and very filling.
My favorite or perfect in my mind sandwich would be:
Dutch crunch roll or hoagie roll.
Thin layer of butter on both sides of the bread.
Then a bit of mayo on the bottom with some cracked pepper.
Add a layer of cranberry sauce.
Turkey slices but has to be a mix of dark and white meat, then salted.
Take some stuffing and sort of shape it to size of bread and compress it, then add over turkey.
Add some dark brown mustard to top piece of buttered bread.
Close, wrap in parchment tightly.
Pack with a few deviled eggs. Thermos of coco spiked coffee. If able also some potato cakes.
Potato cakes are made from some spare mashed potatoes, about a third of the amount of sweet potato, some left over cheese diced up super fine, some salt and pepper- mix up but do not over work starch. Then shape into almost hamburger shape and dredge in seasoned flour. Saute until golden in butter. (can be eaten hot or cold). Have also added left over cured meats like ham, salami, etc.
