Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Cooked turkey (sliced or shredded)
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
- 6 pieces Waffles (store-bought or homemade)
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Butter (softened)
- 0.5 cup Baby spinach (optional)
- 0.25 cup Cranberry sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to create a spread.
Take 6 waffles and lay them flat. Spread the mayonnaise-mustard mixture evenly onto one side of each waffle.
On 3 of the waffles (the base layer), layer the sliced or shredded turkey, followed by the cheddar cheese, and optional baby spinach leaves.
Top each sandwich with the remaining 3 waffles, with the mayonnaise side facing inward to secure the fillings.
Spread a thin layer of softened butter on the outsides of the wafflewiches (top and bottom).
Heat a large non-stick skillet or pan over medium heat. Place the wafflewiches into the pan, working in batches if needed.
Cook each side for 3-4 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until the waffles are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the wafflewiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly before cutting them into halves or quarters, if desired.
Serve immediately with optional cranberry sauce on the side for dipping.
