So after Thanksgiving, you generally have a few leftovers to choose from. I love grilling sandwiches as you know – my regular Sunday activity. This sandwich combines the turkey and the cranberry. Instead of overdoing it with the stuffing, I added some mild provolone as my melting cheese. Note to self, Grilled Turkey Cheese & Cranberry Sauce Sandwich for next year.
Ingredients:
- 2 slices of Italian white bread
- 3 slices of turkey
- 2 pieces of provolone
- 2 – 3 tbsp cranberry sauce
- 1 tbsp each canola oil and butter
Directions:
Add the oil and butter to a skillet on medium heat. Add the bread and cook on both sides until brown.
Toasting Bread
I added a little more butter when I flipped the bread. By cooking both sides this type of bread stays firmer. Remove the bread from the skillet and play on a baking tray. Top with the cheese and place in an oven pre-heated at 325 degrees. Cook for 1 – 2 minutes until the cheese melts.
Melting Cheese
Remove from the oven and top with the turkey and then the cranberry.
Turkey Added
Cranberry Added
Combine the two sides of the bread and dig in. I actually ate mine by putting more cranberry sauce on the plate and dipping my sandwich in the sauce.
Enjoy!
Oh man, this type of sandwich is one of my absolute favorites. I like your idea of toasting the inside of your bread first. At our house we will even put a little leftover stuffing in ours & do them in the panini press. I like to add a bit of dijon mustard to mine. We look forward to the leftover turkey sandwiches almost as much as we look forward to the turkey dinner itself! : )
Your adding stuffing makes it the perfect thanksgiving leftover sandwich!
A “Thanksgiving sandwich” just like this one is my husband’s favorite part about the food. He will love this!
