Directions


 



HORSERADISH  MAYONNAISE



Mix together. Cover, refrigerate and hold for service.




ORANGE and CRANBERRY RELISH



Mix water, sugar, cranberries and orange zest together in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.


Increase heat to medium-high and simmer, uncovered, until cranberries pop and mixture begins to thicken, about 8 - 12 minutes.


Cool, cover and refrigerate.




SAGE and SAUSAGE STUFFING



Melt butter in a heavy sauté pan. Add onion and celery and sauté until softened.


Transfer cooked vegetables to a large bowl. Add bread cubes and gently stir in stock until moistened. Fold in beaten egg, fresh sage and cooked sausage.


Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and pat dressing into the loaf pan.


Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 20+ minutes or until set and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.




SANDWICH ASSEMBLY



For each sandwich, spread a thin layer of horseradish mayonnaise on bread slices and top one bread slice with red leaf lettuce leaves.


Pile on 3 ounces leftover cooked turkey breast slices. Top with a scoop of cranberry-orange relish.


Cover relish with a 1/4-inch thick slice of sausage and sage dressing.


Separate red onion slices into rings and cover sausage dressing with 3-4 red onion rings.


Add the top bread slice and serve immediately.
