The are few absolutes in life beyond the classics - Life, Death and Taxes. There is one for me and it only occurs in those few glorious days post-Thanksgiving.
The OTTS.
The One True Turkey Sandwich.
The are no questions. It has been perfected. By me. No substitutions - please. It is a culinary work of art, and why put a thing of beauty under a microscope?
I give you - the OTTS.
Ingredients
2 slices white or wheat bread, well toasted
Hellman's Mayonnaise ( or Best Taste brand, west of the Mississippi)
Roasted turkey, sliced medium thick
Stuffing, sliced
Jellied cranberry sauce, sliced
Fresh ground black pepper
Fresh ground sea salt
1. Get a plate out and line with paper towels. You do NOT want "toast sweat" on the plate
2. Toast your bread well and place on the plate
3. Put a generous shmear of mayo on both slices of bread, and hit with a generous grind of salt and pepper. (Miracle Whip is an abomination before God and Man and will not be entertained. EVER.)
4. On on slice, layer your turkey.
5. On the turkey, layer your sliced stuffing; smash down if required to stick together in a slab
6. On the stuffing, layer your sliced, jellied cranberry sauce. Jellied, hear me?
7. Crown with the other piece of be-mayoed, salted & peppered toast.
8. Slice in half. Your choice. Not like I'm a control freak.
9. Eat, Damn You! EAT!
10. Culinary Orgasm.
You're welcome!
