Ingredients

• 4 slices sourdough bread
• 1 cup cooked turkey
• 4 tablespoons cranberry sauce
• 1 cup leftover stuffing or dressing
• 2 slices provolone cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Step 1

Heat a panini press or a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

Step 3

Lay two slices of bread, butter side down, on a clean working surface.

Step 4

Spread 2 tablespoons of cranberry sauce evenly on the unbuttered side of each bottom slice of bread.

Step 5

Top each slice with 1/2 cup of cooked turkey, followed by 1/2 cup of stuffing or dressing.

Step 6

Place a slice of provolone cheese on top of the stuffing for each sandwich.

Step 7

Cover the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up, to form a sandwich.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the sandwiches to the preheated panini press or skillet.

Step 9

If using a panini press, close the lid and cook for 4–5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. If using a skillet, press the sandwiches down gently with a spatula, cook for 2–3 minutes per side, and flip carefully.

Step 10

Remove the panini from the heat, slice in half, and serve warm.
