Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 6 ounces Cooked turkey
- 4 tablespoons Cranberry sauce
- 1 cup Stuffing
- 4 tablespoons Gravy
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat a panini press or a large skillet over medium heat.
Spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Lay two slices of bread, buttered side down, on a clean work surface.
Layer the turkey evenly on both slices of bread, followed by the stuffing.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of gravy over the stuffing on each sandwich.
Add 2 tablespoons of cranberry sauce to each sandwich, spreading it evenly.
Top with a slice of Swiss cheese on each sandwich.
Place the remaining slices of bread on top, buttered side up.
Transfer the sandwiches to the preheated panini press or skillet. If using a skillet, press the sandwiches down with a heavy object, such as another skillet, to compress them.
Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side (or 4-5 minutes total in a panini press), until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the heat, cut in half, and serve warm. Optionally, serve with extra gravy for dipping.
