Turkey and cranberry sauce is definitely a winner. In my youth, around the holidays I'd make them with the leftover dressing and gravy, too, similar to Doodlebird.

Avocado (or guacamole) is a great addition to most sandwiches, particularly beef or turkey and of course cheese. I like spicy or hot guacamole in a turkey sandwich.

A great pastrami sandwich is heaven, of course. But I haven't had a really good one in 15 years, since I left San Francisco and stopped eating lunch at Quincy's down at the Civic Center (I hear it's still there, too). The central California coast is not big on premium deli meats. Every once in a while I go to the local Togo's and order a hot pastrami; and it's okay, but it's not the same.

When I was a kid, I was really fond of spaghetti sandwiches. You'd take leftover spaghetti with the meat sauce mixed in, heat it (not _too_ hot) and plop it down between two pieces of bread dressed with mayo, and layer in some Swiss cheese, maybe a little tabasco if I was feeling frisky. People look at me like I'm crazy when I describe this, but it's not that much difference than a slice of pizza. And when I was 12, I though it was great!
