Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices sliced turkey breast
- 8 slices whole-grain bread
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons cracked black pepper
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.
Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread to prevent them from becoming soggy.
On 4 slices of bread (buttered side facing down), spread a thin, even layer of the mayonnaise mixture.
Add a slice of lettuce and 2 slices of turkey breast to each of the bread slices with the mayonnaise mixture.
Spread a thin layer of cranberry sauce on the remaining 4 slices of buttered bread (on the buttered side).
Top the turkey and lettuce stacks with the cranberry-covered bread slices (cranberry side facing down) to complete the sandwiches.
Using a serrated knife, carefully trim the crusts off the sandwiches for a polished appearance.
Cut each sandwich into 2 or 4 smaller pieces, depending on the desired size, to create finger-sized portions.
Arrange the sandwiches on a platter and serve immediately, or cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
