The Ultimate Leftover Thanksgiving LAB Sandwich
If you are looking for a creative way to enjoy your thanksgiving leftovers look no further! This Thanksgiving leftover LAB sandwich has lovingly been passed down from generation to generation in a very unique way! If you want to know how it got it’s name and made it’s way to me read down below! If you’ve got leftovers and you are ready to eat them let’s jump into it!
You’ll Need:
Sandwich Bread (White or Wheat) I prefer Dave’s Killer Bread
Mayonnaise
Leftovers: Turkey, Mashed Potato’s, Stuffing, Gravy and Cranberry Sauce
Assembly Required 😉
Taking two slices of bread, spread a little mayonnaise on both pieces. Next evenly layer turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing on one slice of bread. Then pour some gravy on top of these layers then top off with a thin layer of cranberry sauce. Place the second slice of bread on top and voila you have The Ultimate Thanksgiving Leftover LAB sandwich ready to go!
It is a hearty sandwich so beware! It will keep you full all day and is either great after a night of drinking or the next morning when your trying to recover! Silverware may be helpful but not required.
Enjoy!
The Ultimate Thanksgiving Leftover LAB sandwich got it’s name from two men who are sadly no longer with us, Larry Blau and Andy Blau. I never met Larry, but Andy was my mom’s fiancé and he lost his battle pancreatic cancer in August. We are all still grieving his loss especially around the holidays, especially my mom. Andy made this sandwich for my mom each year and told her it was something his dad, Larry, made for him. It was originally named the LB Sandwich, but I’ve gone ahead and renamed it the LAB (Larry Andy Blau) Sandwich, because Andy should get credit for passing it along! My mom told me that the first year they were together they got into a fight on Thanksgiving, and the very next day Andy instead on seeing her to makeup and he made her this sandwich.
They say when someone passes they never truly leave you and I strongly believe that the more we can keep someone’s memory alive each day the more they remain with us. Andy was a great guy and told so many funny stories and had so many rich life experiences. I wish he were still here to enjoy the sandwich with us but for the rest of my life I will always make sure to enjoy one in his honor. Rest In Peace Andy and know how deeply loved you were.
