Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 4 ounces leftover roasted turkey
- 0.33 cup stuffing
- 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese
- 0.25 cup gravy
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and cream cheese until smooth. Set aside.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each sourdough bread slice.
Place a skillet or griddle over medium heat and allow it to preheat.
While the skillet heats, assemble the sandwich: Spread the mayonnaise and cream cheese mixture on the unbuttered side of one bread slice.
Layer the sliced roasted turkey evenly over the mayonnaise and cream cheese spread.
Add a layer of stuffing on top of the turkey, gently pressing it to flatten slightly. Spread the cranberry sauce evenly on top of the stuffing.
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing outward.
Place the sandwich on the preheated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crisp.
While the sandwich cooks, warm the gravy in a small saucepan or microwave until heated through.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve warm with a small dish of gravy for dipping.
