Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 oz Cooked turkey
- 1 cup Stuffing
- 3 tbsp Cranberry sauce
- 0.25 cup Gravy
- 0.5 cup Mashed potatoes
- 2 pieces Slices of bread (preferably sourdough or multigrain)
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Spread the butter on one side of each slice of bread. The buttered sides will be the outer layer of the sandwich when grilling.
Place the first slice of bread, buttered side down, onto a preheated skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Layer the turkey evenly across the bread slice, followed by the mashed potatoes. Spread the stuffing over the potatoes and drizzle the gravy on top.
Add the cranberry sauce on top of the stuffing, spreading evenly for a sweet and tangy contrast.
Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up.
Cook the sandwich for about 4-5 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the fillings are warmed through.
Season the sandwich with a pinch of salt and black pepper after cooking, if desired.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for 1-2 minutes. Slice in half and serve warm.
