My (vegetarian) high school Spanish teacher, annually drew a very lifelike picture of a turkey on a platter, with a speech bubble “¡Salvame!” which was pretty much the end of my eating turkey at Thanksgiving. And if opposites attract, wherever we go, a Thanksgiving Sandwich is without fail, Scott’s favorite to order if it’s on a menu. When I recently saw a recipe for a vegan version, I jumped at the chance to make it. Scott loved it (even without the turkey), and I could enjoy all the flavors of a Thanksgiving dinner, without the turkey. The best part, it’s SUPER easy to assemble.
