Rico's "Memory of Thanksgiving" sandwich
Addington Hills Café
Turkey and sun-dried tomatoes are grilled on a busy slice of focaccia bread. If the focaccia bread doesn't win you over, the fact it is smothered in a pesto-Russian dressing, garnished with romaine will. 295 Emmett St. East, Battle Creek / addingtonhillscafe.com, (269) 965-2233
B'Wiched Deli
Tom's Tenacious Turkey at B'Wiched has jumped on the resurgence of avocado spread on turkey sandwiches. However, unlike every other boring, subtle mayo-avocado spread atop applewood smoked bacon, B'Wiched offers a cilantro-lime mayo. The soft-biting acidity blends with the avocado spread over several inches of turkey and applewood smoked bacon, tomatoes, shaved red onion and muenster cheese on a soft ciabatta bun. 5051 W. Main St., Kalamazoo / bwicheddeli.com, (269) 343-9424

Rico’s Deli
When it comes to the cold of November, the best turkey sandwich is sometimes just a heap of turkey, cranberries and stuffing. Rico’s Deli one-ups this combination with the return of its Grandwich Top-10 entry, “A Memory of Thanksgiving.” Available on Thursdays until the end of the month as a special, Rico’s “Memory” takes a generous hand-carved heap of lean turkey, homemade stuffing, and tangy cranberry sauce and places it onto a cranberry walnut bread panini with a creamy spread of havarti — beware the potential tryptophan food coma. 940 Monroe Ave. NW, Grand Rapids / Facebook / (616) 451-0225
