Ingredients
- 6 oz Cooked turkey
- 1 cup Stuffing
- 3 tbsp Cranberry sauce
- 0.25 cup Gravy
- 0.5 cup Mashed potatoes
- 2 pieces Slices of bread (preferably sourdough or multigrain)
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Spread the butter on one side of each slice of bread. The buttered sides will be the outer layer of the sandwich when grilling.
Step 2
Place the first slice of bread, buttered side down, onto a preheated skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 3
Layer the turkey evenly across the bread slice, followed by the mashed potatoes. Spread the stuffing over the potatoes and drizzle the gravy on top.
Step 4
Add the cranberry sauce on top of the stuffing, spreading evenly for a sweet and tangy contrast.
Step 5
Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up.
Step 6
Cook the sandwich for about 4-5 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the fillings are warmed through.
Step 7
Season the sandwich with a pinch of salt and black pepper after cooking, if desired.
Step 8
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for 1-2 minutes. Slice in half and serve warm.
