But, but, but. . .where's the CRANBERRY SAUCE? Even a "real" manhattan has a cherry garnish!

Actually, this sammy (or something very similar thereto) is the REASON we eat turkey on Thankstiving!

Thank you Christine for answering that question. I just now got back on the computer since I was at work. Your correct in your answer too. And Magie, I reckon you can put the Cranberry sauce on it if you want. I personally would never buy the stuff, but alas, Hubby just HAS to have that! ( he eats it alone, like a side dish) BLECH!!!!

I have to have cranberry sauce on my sandwich...

Thanksgiving In A Sandwich
I am already drooling for this baby...

1. Get two pieces of bread....any kind
2. Spread mayonnaise on each slice of bread.
3. Top the mayonnaise with salt and pepper. Fresh ground tastes best, but again, it doesn't matter.
4. Take one piece of bread and put on thin slices of jellied cranberry sauce, or spoonfuls of whole berry sauce.
5. Put slices of turkey on top of the cranberry sauce.
6. On the second piece of bread, put a layer of stuffing and mashed potatos and gravy.
7. Assemble the pieces of bread into a sandwich. Cut in half.

I like to put the turkey on the bread first then the cranberry sauce so it doesn't run through.

Maybe I will put a couple cranberries in my manhatten...

Here is one I have used...


Scalloped Oysters

• 1 pint oysters with their liquor
• 2 cups saltine cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 3/4 cup half and half
• 1/4 cup oyster liquor
• 3 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• salt, pepper to taste

Drain oysters, reserving liquor. Mix cracker crumbs with melted butter and place 1/3 in bottom of a greased baking dish. Cover with half the oysters. Sprinkle oysters generously with pepper. Add another layer of cracker crumbs and place remaining oysters on top. Sprinkle with more pepper.
Make sauce by combining cream, oyster liquor, parsley, and Worcestershire sauce and season to taste with salt. Pour sauce over oysters and top with final layer of cracker crumbs.

Bake in a 350° oven for 40 minutes.
Serves 4.
