Turkey sandwiches
Cold turkey sandwiches: the Boxing Day staple, typically with stuffing, cranberry sauce, and mayo on white or brown bread. The cold serving temperature firms the turkey fat, the bread adds starchy ballast, the cranberry sauce adds sharp sweetness, and the mayo adds dairy fat. The overall register is lighter and less demanding than hot roast turkey; the wine must work at the cold, casual register without the roasting juice depth.
