Over here in the States, refrigerators are full of Thanksgiving holiday leftovers. It’s amazing how many different dishes you can make using leftover turkey if you’re willing to get a bit creative. My personal favorite is turkey noodle soup, and the weirdest I’ve tried over the years is turkey omelets with cranberry sauce topping. Hey, you never know what works until you try.

That’s also the philosophy of Lori Cady, who runs the 58-foot sailing catamaran Sabore with her husband, Capt. Mike. She’s one of many excellent charter chefs I’ve met over the years, but the first one I know who’s taken the time to put her recipes into a proper cookbook–one that is more than 200 pages long, indexed, and organized into easy-to-access categories.

For her, writing the cookbook was simply an extra way to offer guests good service. “Charter guests always ask for recipes,” she told me when I visited the yacht in Tortola. “Charter is a lot about the food. So I wrote it all down.”

Luckily for me, she included her recipe for Turkey Focaccia Sandwich with Basil Salsa–which sounds a whole lot tastier than turkey omelets on Day Five of Thanksgiving leftovers. If you’d like to learn more about Lori’s cookbook or order your copy ($25 plus shipping), you can e-mail her at sabore585@sailsabore.com.
