Turkey Cranberry Sandwich Recipe

 

Ingredients:

• 2 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, whole wheat, or ciabatta work well)

• 3-4 ounces (about 100g) of cooked turkey (roasted or leftover)

• 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce

• 1-2 slices of Swiss or cheddar cheese (optional)

• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise or cream cheese (optional)

• Fresh lettuce leaves (optional)

• 2-3 thin slices of apple or avocado (optional, for added texture and flavor)

 

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bread:

• Lightly toast the bread slices if desired.

2. Spread the Condiments:

• Spread cranberry sauce on one slice of bread.

• Spread mayonnaise or cream cheese on the other slice (optional).

3. Assemble the Sandwich:

• Layer the turkey slices on top of the cranberry sauce.

• Add cheese (if using) over the turkey.

• Add optional ingredients like lettuce, apple slices, or avocado for additional texture and flavor.

4. Close the Sandwich:

• Top with the second slice of bread.

5. Optional: Grill the Sandwich:

• For a warm version, heat a skillet over medium heat, butter the outer sides of the bread lightly, and grill each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

• Slice the sandwich in half and serve with chips, a salad, or soup for a complete meal.

 

Notes:

• This sandwich is perfect for using Thanksgiving leftovers.

• Swap out cranberry sauce for a cranberry mayo mixture for a creamier taste.
