Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 6 ounces Roasted turkey
- 4 tablespoons Cranberry sauce
- 1 cup Stuffing
- 1 cup Gravy
- 1 cup Mashed potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
1. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will help create a golden, crispy exterior when cooking.
2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
3. Place two slices of sourdough bread, mayonnaise-side down, into the skillet. Warm them gently until lightly toasted.
4. While the bread is toasting, reheat the roasted turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and gravy separately until warm. Use a microwave or stovetop as preferred.
5. Once the bread is toasted on one side, remove it from the skillet and lay it flat on a cutting board, toasted side up.
6. Spread 2 tablespoons of cranberry sauce on one slice of toasted bread.
7. Layer on 3 ounces of roasted turkey, 1/2 cup of stuffing, and 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes on top of the cranberry sauce.
8. Drizzle 1/2 cup of gravy over the layered ingredients, then season lightly with salt and black pepper to taste.
9. Top the sandwich with the second slice of toasted sourdough bread, toasted side facing inward, and press down slightly to hold it together.
10. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the sandwich back into the skillet.
11. Grill the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the fillings are hot.
12. Repeat steps 3-11 for the second sandwich if preparing two servings.
13. Remove from the skillet, slice each sandwich in half, and serve immediately with extra gravy on the side for dipping if desired.
