Some of my all-time faves:

It’s not Thanksgiving anymore. I’m still in England. You have a massive amount of leftover turkey sitting in your kitchen. These are all probable truths.
You know what I’d do? I’d make a sandwich. Here are some stellar leftover turkey sandwich ideas from the webs. Get your face round one of them. It’ll be mega.
Turkey Cobb Sandwich
Barbecue Pulled-Turkey Sandwiches
Monte Cristo Sandwich
Turkey, Cheddar, and Green Apple Sandwich
Panes con Pavo (Salvadoran Turkey Sandwich)
Quesadillas with Chutney and Brie
Turkey and Cranberry Chutney Sandwich

p.s. My personal favourite simple combo = turkey, cold stuffing, cranberry sauce in between two slices. Chomp.
Still hungry? Have some cake.

As you’re reading this I should be in lovely England, hanging out with my husband, sister, brother, parents, and all manner of other lovely folks. We’re sad to be missing Thanksgiving tomorrow but obviously pretty chuffed to be in the U.K.
I hope your day is full of pie. That is all.
p.s. My first ever Thanksgiving.
