THANKSGIVING SANDWICH
Like many restaurant workers toiling in Las Vegas, Eric Klein, the executive chef at Spago, spends Thanksgiving Day on the line, dishing out turkey and trimmings to vacationing high rollers. Time with family and friends comes after the holiday. While the rest of the city combs shopping arcades for Black Friday deals, he's making magic with the leftovers. One of his favorites is this play on a French dip sandwich. Shredded turkey stands in for the usual beef, while gravy, thinned out to make it brothlike, replaces the jus for dipping. To this he adds the requisite leftover stuffing, and he folds the cranberry sauce into a fragrant and creamy aioli. He likes to crumble mild blue cheese over the top of his sandwich for extra pizazz, but feel free to leave it out if you're feeling more traditional.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk together cranberry sauce, mayonnaise and chutney. In a small pot, heat together turkey and 2/3 cup of the gravy.
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Place remaining gravy in a serving dish and stir in enough boiling water to make it thin enough to use as a sandwich dip. It should be like a rich broth. Season with salt if needed.
- Spread chutney mixture over cut side of bread halves. Make sandwiches with turkey, stuffing and blue cheese, if you like. Cut sandwiches in half and dip in the warm, thin gravy as you eat them.

I started making this with the gravy-sliced bread in the middle after Monica on Friends described a sandwich like that. Add slices of tomato or add cranberry sauce, if you like (I prefer mine without).

Steps:
- Make the turkey tenderloin: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the onion powder, garlic powder, sage, thyme, brown sugar, nutmeg, and salt.
- Using your hands, rub each turkey tenderloin with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, then generously coat all over with the spice rub.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a 12-inch cast iron or oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the turkey tenderloins to the skillet and sear for 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the pan from heat and pour in the chicken stock.
- Cover the pan tightly with foil and transfer to the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin registers at least 165°F (74°C). Transfer the turkey from the pan to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest for at least 10 minutes, or until ready to serve. Leave any juices behind in the pan.
- While the turkey roasts, make the creamy cranberry sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the cranberries, orange peels, orange juice, brown sugar, rosemary, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, until the cranberries have softened and burst and the liquid has thickened. Remove the pot from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Remove the orange peels and rosemary sprig and discard.
- Transfer the cranberry mixture to a small food processor, along with the mayonnaise and salt. Pulse until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Make the jus: Return the skillet used to roast the turkey to the stove and melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to incorporate. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until bubbling and thickened. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, until thickened. Season with the salt
- Set a fine-mesh sieve over a measuring cup or serving bowl and strain the jus to remove any solid bits.
- When ready to serve, thinly slice the turkey against the grain.
- Spread about ½ tablespoon of softened butter on each side of the brioche buns. Working in batches if needed, place the buns, buttered-side down, in a clean large skillet over medium heat and toast until the buns are golden brown, about 4 minutes.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread 1-2 teaspoons of creamy cranberry sauce over each side of the buns. Place ½ cup arugula, 6 ounces turkey, and ⅓ cup mac 'n' cheese on each bottom bun and top with the top buns. Serve with sweet potato fries, more cranberry sauce, and the hot jus for dipping.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right bread: A sturdy bread, such as sourdough or a hearty whole wheat, will hold up well to the fillings and won't get soggy.
- Don't skimp on the butter: Butter adds flavor and richness to the sandwich. Be generous with it, but not so much that the bread gets greasy.
- Layer the fillings evenly: This will ensure that every bite has a good balance of flavors and textures.
- Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it hold up better to the fillings and give it a nice crunchy texture.
- Add a little something extra: A dollop of cranberry sauce, a sprinkle of chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey can take your sandwich to the next level.
