Ingredients
- 8 slices Smoked turkey breast
- 2 tablespoons Cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 4 slices Rustic bread (sourdough or ciabatta)
- 1 cup Baby spinach or arugula
- 4 slices Sharp cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or butter (for toasting, if desired)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the cranberry sauce with the softened butter until fully combined and smooth. Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness if desired. Set aside.
Step 2
Lay out the slices of bread on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of cranberry butter on one side of each slice.
Step 3
On two of the bread slices, layer 4 slices of smoked turkey breast each. Follow with 2 slices of sharp cheddar cheese if using.
Step 4
Add a handful of baby spinach or arugula on top of the turkey and cheese. Sprinkle a pinch of freshly ground black pepper over the greens.
Step 5
Top the sandwiches with the remaining slices of bread, cranberry butter side down, to close them.
Step 6
For a toasted sandwich, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil or butter. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and the cheese melts (if included).
Step 7
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, cut them in half if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
