It’s two days after Thanksgiving (or Christmas), and there’s still an oversized freezer bag of uneaten turkey staring at you every time you peek in the fridge. We say it’s time for a leftover turkey sandwich with Gouda cheese and cranberry sauce!

We recommend you pile the goods high on homemade Dutch oven einkorn bread, then go to town with your favorite accouterments. We selected Gouda because it’s nice and gooey when melted, plus the cranberry sauce is luscious and tangy.

Einkorn is helpful for those with gluten sensitivities or intolerances and not intended for those with celiac disease.
