Sam Adams

Samuel Adams chef/partner David Burke has suggested the perfect leftover sandwich. It’s warm, green and adds bacon. How can that be wrong?

THE ULTIMATE THANKSGIVING LEFTOVER SANDWICH1

THE ULTIMATE THANKSGIVING LEFTOVER SANDWICH

8 ounces leftover dark and/or white meat turkey, sliced

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

2 pieces cooked bacon

1/2 cup leftover stuffing

1 ounce Samuel Adams Cranberry Lambic to moisten stuffing

4 slices Swiss cheese

Leftover green beans or other veggies

2 slices thick white bread

On outside of bread slices, spread butter evenly (as if you were making a grilled cheese sandwich). On the inside of the slices, spread mayo evenly. Stack turkey, cheese, bacon, stuffing (with beer) and veggies on top of one slice of bread. Place other slice on top pressing down firmly to hold together. Insert four toothpicks into each corner of the sandwich. If necessary, cut tops of toothpicks off so they are not sticking out.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a nonstick pan, brown on each side for approximately 3 minutes each side. Remove from pan and place on oven sheet. Roast for 10 minutes at 350 degrees, flipping at halfway point.

Pair with Samuel Adams Cranberry Lambic.

Yields 1 BIG sandwich!
