My grandmother on my mother's side knew what she was talking about when it came to after-Thanksgiving sandwiches. Just make a plain turkey sandwich with your favorite bread and mayo or Miracle Whip, then add her two key ingredients:
Durkee's Famous Sauce
bread-and-butter pickles
If you live in the South, Durkee is a name you know. The rest of you can spread the word to your grocery store managers or mail-order it yourself. Durkee's has been around since wagon train days, so it's stood the test of time. It's a delightfully tangy dressing, with sort of a mayo-mustard thing going on, but much more. You'll love it! The vinegar-y sweetness of the bread & butter pickles is just the right touch to make these sandwiches lively. Great accompaniment for college football watching.
If you order a 6- or 12-pack of Durkee's, you can give a few as a wonderful gift on it's own with recipes or included in a gift basket - try it with cheeses.
My other favorite leftover turkey sandwich touts
cream cheese
homemade cranberry sauce
A hearty, nutty bread is particularly good for this sandwich. But not sliced too thick - don't you just hate thick sliced bread for sandwiches? You can't even taste the filling. So go with a sandwich bread or even with a thin-sliced bread like Pepperidge Farm's.
See this post for homemade cranberry sauce.
