The World's Greatest Leftover Turkey Sandwich

Ingredients:

• Leftover Stuffing (works best if the stuffing is moist)
• Cranberry Sauce
• Mayonnaise
• Leftover Turkey, sliced for sandwiches
• Gravy

Directions:

Using a knife or sharp spoon, scoop out the inside of the top half of the loaf, leaving only a shell. Spread stuffing into this shell, replacing the scooped out bread. (about 1/4 to 1/2" of stuffing is usually perfect, but use whatever makes you happy!) Mix together mayonnaise and cranberry sauce in a small bowl. (2 parts mayonnaise to every 1 part of cranberry) Spread this evenly on the bottom half of the bread. Top the cranberry-mayonnaise mixture with turkey slices. Drizzle the turkey with a light coating of gravy. (or a heavy one if you wish - what the heck, it's the holidays!) Top the sandwich with the stuffing-filled top loaf of bread.
