30 Gourmet Sandwiches #16: Thanksgiving Sandwich

 Happy thanksgiving! Hang on we're a month early.


I was hoping they'd have some chunky pre-cooked turkey in the deli meats, I wasnt planning on cooking a whole one for this. They had chunky chicken, but I was stubborn about the turkey thing so we've ended up with some slightly sad wafer turkey. We also have whole-wheat bread, cream cheese, bacon, avocado, and cranberry sauce.


I managed to get pre-cooked turkey, but not pre-cooked bacon, so we're still gonna make our own bacon bits, despite it being such a minor sandwich feature.


Crispy! This should be perfect for making little bacon bits.


I'll slice the avocado, its got a bit of a bad spot but just less than half a'cado is plenty.


We toast the bread for this one. I should probably de-crumb this toaster sometime.


We're ready to assemble! Beautiful toast.


Cream cheese layer. Honestly? turkey and cranberry is a pretty normal combination to me, but cream cheese and avocado is a bit out there.


since we don't have proper leftover turkey breast meat we'll make do with a generous stack of slices.


The avocado and the bacon bits. This looks so much more colorful than the reference image! Where are all these supposed ingredients hiding?


Finally, a generous slather of cranberry sauce. 


***

Hmm. It's very sweet and jammy, quite salty and a little creamy. Odd. I think you'll get a very different effect from different types of cranberry sauce and cheese, as well as the turkey to avocado ratio. Maybe I didn't make a good example of this, despite following the instructions technically. I don't dislike it though. But it's a bit like... random.
