No matter how you stack it a Thanksgiving Dinner Sandwich is pure goodness.  For me, the key ingredients are stuffing, turkey and mayo.  This year, thanks to my sister Sarah, I’m adding a schmear of Cranberry Horseradish Mayo.  Oh my word, that stuff is addicting.

Just like our Thanksgiving Dinner Party Meatballs, the Thanksgiving Dinner Sandwich should be served year round.  The familiar flavors are reminiscent of family and comfort food love.  What do you add to your holiday sandwiches?

Thanksgiving Dinner Party Meatballs.

Talk about little bites of comfort.  All those wonderful Thanksgiving flavors conveniently bundled into party meatballs.

Sing it with me… Party Meatballs in the house tonight. Everybody just have a good time.

I couldn’t help myself.  With the Party Rockers reference or with these meatballs.  Imagine mingling at a cocktail party, sampling all the carefully selected appetizers.

Hmmm, is that a meatball I see?  Why I love meatballs.  Don’t mind if I do.

I’m telling you, when you pluck a Thanksgiving Dinner Party Meatball out of the light gravy and pop it in your mouth…You will hear the holiday angels sing.

These tender meatballs are the perfect savory combination of turkey and cornbread stuffing (dressing) balanced by the slight sweetness from the cranberries.  Why wait until the holiday season to enjoy these?  Imagine the delight of summer party guests when they get an unexpected burst of holiday flavor.  Or how about for that Game Day Party.  Who doesn’t love Thanksgiving Dinner and meatballs?

Of course, when Thanksgiving Dinner is over and you’ve got leftover stuffing and cranberries, I hope you’ll think of this fun recipe!!

Give our Cranberry Horseradish Mayo a try while you’re at it.  The combination is amazing.
