Food deputy editor Betty Hallock gives us some more ideas for our Thanksgiving leftovers by revisiting the turkey sandwich:
This week, the leftover-turkey sandwich looms especially large. According to the National Turkey Federation, 91% of Americans eat turkey -- about 675 million pounds of it -- for Thanksgiving. And much of Thursday’s bird will probably end up between a couple of pieces of bread. So, what better time to revisit the turkey sandwich?
The turkey sandwich has made something of a coast-to-coast comeback, and the latest renditions are a far cry from the cracker-dry club.
Hallock chats with L.A. chefs Michael Voltaggio, Ricardo Zarate and Judy Han, scoring recipes for their turkey sandwiches that will have you looking at holiday leftovers in a whole new light.
Food also explores the surprisingly easy world of homemade mustard. Soak some seeds in the liquid of your choice, add a little seasoning, maybe a few flavorings, and you have a custom condiment all your own!
