Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 6 ounces roasted turkey
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons cranberry sauce
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 leaves fresh sage leaves
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
In a small pan, heat 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Once melted, add the fresh sage leaves and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove the sage leaves and set aside—the butter should now be infused with the sage flavor.
Brush one side of each slice of sourdough bread with the sage-infused butter. Set aside the buttered bread slices for sandwich assembly.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the roasted turkey slices, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes until warm.
Lay two slices of sourdough bread, buttered side down, on a clean cutting board. Spread 2 tablespoons of cranberry sauce evenly over each slice.
Layer 3 ounces of warmed roasted turkey and 2 slices of cheddar cheese on top of each cranberry-coated bread slice.
Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of sourdough bread, buttered side up.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even browning.
Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them rest for 1 minute, then slice in half and serve warm.
