Toast the bread, if desired, then spread mayonnaise on both slices.
2 slices sourdough bread, 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
Assemble the sandwich by first adding a layer of turkey, then the mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, gravy, and lastly arugula.
5 ounces turkey, ½ cup mashed potatoes, 1 Tablespoon cranberry sauce, ½ cup stuffing, 1 Tablespoon turkey gravy, ½ cup fresh arugula
Place the top of the sandwich on and pierce with a toothpick if desired.
Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Make sure to use a nice sturdy bread! Classic white bread slices won't hold up to the moisture and can fall apart.

If you want a toasted sandwich, fully assemble it aside from the arugula, then toast it in a skillet with butter. Add the arugula right before serving!

You can also make this sandwich on a sub or hoagie roll for a deli-style Thanksgiving sub sandwich!

Try to avoid drenching the sandwich in gravy, as it will turn the bread too soft. That said, if you prefer a sandwich you have to eat over the sink, there's nothing wrong with that!
