My leftover turkey and sweet potato pone sandwich was good but not great. The sweet and savory combo craved a bit more salt. After debating between stuffing and mashed potatoes, I opted for the easier-to-spread taters and was not disappointed.
Yes, I felt a little gross after eating it, but what's Thanksgiving without a decadent, carb-laden sandwich to send it off?
I love a sweet and savory Thanksgiving leftovers sandwich, but I went home without any cranberry sauce this year. Thankfully, missing cranberry sauce is the mother of invention, and I'm amazed I didn't think of this sandwich sooner.
The secret ingredient: sweet potato pone, my old family recipe made with shredded sweet potatoes, pecans, cinnamon, nutmeg and other spices. I spread the sliced casserole onto toasted honey wheat bread then combined it with leftover turkey, romaine lettuce, dijon mustard, and Swiss cheese.
The sweet potato pone was perfect, and the sandwich held together surprisingly well. It was just missing something else salty; dare I try it again with mashed potatoes or stuffing?
