Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Sliced bread (your choice, e.g., sourdough, whole wheat, or ciabatta)
- 4 ounces Cooked turkey breast
- 2 tablespoons Cranberry sauce
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup Baby spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese or brie cheese (depending on your preference)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (optional, for toasting the bread)
Instructions
1. If toasting the bread, butter one side of each slice, and toast them in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown. Set aside. (This step is optional if you prefer the sandwich untoasted.)

3. Spread the cranberry sauce evenly over the mayonnaise-Dijon mixture on one slice of bread.
4. Layer the cooked turkey breast slices on top of the cranberry sauce.
5. Spread the cream cheese (or place slices of brie cheese) over the turkey slices.
6. Add the baby spinach leaves evenly over the cheese layer.
7. Top the sandwich with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side down.
8. If desired, slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your Turkey Cranberry Sandwich!
