There's nothing like turkey day -- unless you're Jeff Mauro! Jeff's all about the day after Thanksgiving, and the wonderland of leftovers just begging to be made into sandwiches. After a raucous Thanksgiving meal with the whole Mauro clan, Jeff grabs a bunch of leftovers and heads home for seconds ... and thirds! He does the classic Thanksgiving on a Roll one better by using stuffing as the bread! Then he makes a spicy barbecued turkey hero, paired with tangy cranberry barbecue sauce.
