Whether it’s a tray of lasagna or a foie gras torchon or the humblest of sandwiches, balanced flavors that are in tune with one another are key to a successful dish. Here, a slice of sharp cheddar lends an unconventional note to the classic salty-sweet combination of roast turkey and cranberry sauce. Iggy’s raisin-pecan bread adds texture (as do the greens), along with a pleasant sourdough twang to the mix. A smear of mayonnaise or a few slices of bacon would elevate this sandwich, but the foundation is undeniably sound and makes for a melodious party in my mouth.
