Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of poultry seasoning, 2 tablespoons of chopped chives, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until completely blended, and you achieve a smooth, creamy mixture. Set aside.
  2. Take two slices of nutty bread and generously spread the prepared herb mayo on one side of each slice. Arrange the slices with the mayo side facing up.
  3. Layer one slice with green leaf lettuce, followed by slices of tender leftover turkey. Top with cranberry sauce, allowing it to ooze slightly.
  4. Place the second slice of bread on top, mayo side down, creating a towering sandwich. Slice the sandwich in half diagonally for easier handling and serve immediately.
