Leftover Turkey Sandwich

Supreme Leftover Turkey Sandwich

1 tbsp mayonnaise
2 ounces cooked turkey, sliced or shredded
½ cup stuffing
2 tbsp cranberry sauce

Spread mayonnaise on one of the slices of bread. Layer cranberry sauce, stuffing, and turkey on the other slice. Place the slice with mayonnaise on top and serve. Try it toasted too!

I love cranberry sauce, and love this sandwich. I don't usually have leftover stuffing, and I usually add lettuce to my sandwich when I make it.
