Mayflower Open Faced Sandwich

Ingredients:

One slice of whole grain bread

Left over turkey (about one cup)

Left over turkey gravy

Two tablespoons whole berry cranberry sauce

Left over stuffing, about an ice cream scoop full

Chopped parsley or chives (optional)

Directions:

Place the bread on a dinner plate. Place the stuffing on top of the bread, the turkey on top of the stuffing, gravy on top of the turkey. I like the cranberry on top of the gravy, others like it on the side with the re-heated mashed potatoes. Sprinkle the plates with chopped parsley or chives.

Cranberry Champagne Cocktail

Ingredients:

1 ounce sweetend cranberry juice

1 wedge lime

Champagne or sparkling wine

Cranberries (frozen)

Directions:

In a chilled champagne flute, add cranberry juice and a squeeze of lime. Top off the glass with champagne and garnish with 3 cranberrys. We substitue ginger ale for the champagne for the kids (who love it).

Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving!
