Last update: November 26, 2008 - 11:56 AM

Makes 1 sandwich and multiplies easily.

Note: From splendidtable.org. "Cranberry sauce and cream cheese could change your life," writes "The Splendid Table" host Lynne Rossetto Kasper. "Or at least your sandwiches. They made this one of the best turkey sandwiches I've ever had. I discovered it at a little general store restaurant in Story, Wyo., a village at the base of the Big Horn Mountains. It's now our Thanksgiving Sunday tradition."

• 2 slices good-tasting, firm white bread

• 2 to 3 tbsp. cream cheese, at room temperature

• 1 whole green onion, thinly sliced (optional)

• 2 to 3 tbsp. cranberry sauce (whatever you have in the house is fine)

• A generous amount of thin-sliced turkey (dark or white meat)

• Dark, grainy mustard

• 1 lettuce leaf

• Mayonnaise

Directions

Spread 1 slice bread with cream cheese. Sprinkle green onions over cream cheese (optional), then spread with cranberry sauce. Top with turkey. Spread a generous film of mustard over turkey. Top with lettuce. Spread a thin film of mayonnaise over second slice of bread. Put sandwich together, cut in half or in quarters and serve.
