Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Sliced bread (your choice, e.g., sourdough or whole grain)
- 4 oz Cooked turkey (sliced or shredded)
- 3 tbsp Cranberry sauce
- 1 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 slice Swiss cheese
- 2 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 tbsp Butter (optional, if toasting)
Instructions
Lay both slices of bread on a clean surface or cutting board.
Spread mayonnaise on one slice of bread and Dijon mustard on the other.
Layer the cooked turkey evenly over the mayonnaise side.
Spread the cranberry sauce over the turkey for a tangy and sweet layer.
Place a slice of Swiss cheese over the cranberry sauce.
Top with two lettuce leaves to add crunch and freshness.
If you want a warm, toasty sandwich, butter the outside of both bread slices lightly and grill the sandwich in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
If not toasting, simply place the second slice of bread, mustard side down, on top to complete the sandwich.
Cut the sandwich diagonally or in half, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Turkey and Cranberry Sandwich!
