Recipe #50: THE LAST! Thanksgiving Sandwich!

Left to Right, Rob Larson,Jessica Evelo, Sarah Larson, Leah Matz, Sandy Gruenstein.
We saved "Thanksgiving Sandwich" for last.  The Book, "A Man, A Can, A Grill" specifically says that this recipe can be made with leftovers from Thanksgiving, so that's what we did.  
First, then, what did we make for Thanksgiving, 2011?

Grilled Turkey.  3 hours indirect grilling.
Homemade biscuits!
Grilled corn on the cob.
Homemade Pumpkin Pie. From Jim's Apple Barn, Belle Plaine, MN
  1. Grilled Turkey: Pretty simple.  Spray with PAM, sprinkle with salt and pepper -- I like to add Mrs. Dash.  Set up the grill for medium heat indirect cooking.  A 15 pound turkey takes about 3 to 3-1/2 hours so you need to add coals every hour or so.  Grill it to an internal temp of 155-160.  Let it sit on the counter under tinfoil for 10 minutes to reabsorb the juices and continue cooking internally.
  2. Homemade biscuits.
  3. Grilled corn on the cob.  Coat it with seasoned butter and wrap it in tinfoil. Grill about 30 minutes turning once halfway through. I PREFER to grill corn in the husks but it is impossible to find it fresh enough in November.
  4. Dressing, Mashed taters and turkey gravy.  We did these the easy way.
  5. HOMEMADE Pumpkin pie. We bought it frozen and unbaked early in the Fall at Jim's Apple Barn on Hiway 169 near Belle Plaine, MN.
OKAY, So the Thanksgiving Sandwich is basically just a Hot Turkey Combination:  We had, Turkey on sourdough bread, mashed potatoes, and dressing, with gravy over it all.
I denuded the turkey carcass on Thanksgiving night, and the next day reheated the chucked up turkey meat on the grill while giving it a good smoking with applewood!.  It was YUMMY.

Tomorrow, I will post the REVIEW I WROTE FOR AMAZON.COM for "A Man A Can, A Grill." 
The next day-- Recipe #50: Thanksgiving Sandwich!
