One of the best parts of Thanksgiving is the leftovers. You get great food—and a nice rest—after spending hours (if not days) prepping your holiday meal.
Today’s recipe will fortify you for a Black Friday trip to the mall, or you can make these sandwiches after a long day of shopping.
Prep time is less than 30 minutes, and all of the ingredients are available at your local natural and organic food store. A variation for Cashew Turkey Pitas follows at the end of the article.
