1. If you'd like to toast the bread, heat a skillet or nonstick pan over medium heat. Butter one side of each slice of bread and toast until golden brown. Set aside.
2. Warm the cooked turkey and leftover dressing in the microwave or in a skillet over low heat until heated through. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and cranberry sauce to create a tangy sandwich spread.
4. Assemble the sandwiches: spread the cranberry-mayo mixture on one side of each slice of bread or roll, then layer with warm turkey and a generous scoop of dressing.
5. If desired, drizzle hot gravy over the turkey and dressing for extra moisture and flavor.
6. Top with the remaining slices of bread and serve warm. For an open-face option, skip the top piece of bread and serve with a fork and knife.
7. Enjoy your hearty turkey and dressing sandwiches, perfect for holiday leftovers!
