This cranberry turkey sandwich isn't the usual half-hearted combination of leftovers. It's a delicious riff on the classic club sandwich, but made on foccaccia with a tangy cranberry mayo.

Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
2 tablespoons chopped pecans, toasted
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 loaf (8 ounces) focaccia bread
3 lettuce leaves
1/2 pound thinly sliced cooked turkey
1/4 pound sliced Gouda cheese
8 slices tomato
6 bacon strips, cooked

Directions

In a small bowl, mix the first 5 ingredients until blended. Using a long serrated knife, cut focaccia horizontally in half. Spread cut sides with mayonnaise mixture. Layer bottom half with lettuce, turkey, cheese, tomato and bacon; replace bread top. Cut into wedges.

My family thinks this sandwich is pure heaven thanks to the cranberry-pecan mayo. It's so good that they ask me to make it all year long. —Judy Wilson, Sun City West, Arizona
