Description

Indulge in the comforting blend of turkey, creamy cheese, and zesty cranberry sauce between crispy, warm bread—your perfect cozy meal!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices sourdough or whole grain bread
  • 4 oz turkey breast (leftover or deli-style)
  • 2 tbsp cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 oz cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. 1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients on the counter. Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
  2. 2. Assemble Your Sandwich: Spread butter generously on one side of each slice of bread. On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer turkey, followed by cranberry sauce, and top with cheddar cheese. Place the second slice of bread on top, butter-side up.
  3. 3. Toast It Up: Place the sandwich butter-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  4. 4. Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden brown and cheese is melted.
  5. 5. Slice and Serve: Remove from heat, let sit for one minute before slicing, and serve with extra cranberry sauce on the side.
