Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices thick sourdough or rustic bread
  • 4 oz leftover roast turkey, sliced
  • 1/2 cup leftover stuffing
  • 2 tbsp cranberry sauce
  • 1 slice provolone or mild cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp butter, softened
  • Warm leftover gravy, for dipping

Method
 

  1. Spread cranberry sauce on one bread slice. Layer on turkey, stuffing, and cheese. Top with the other slice.
  2. Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Butter the outsides of the sandwich, place it in the skillet, and press with a second heavy pan or brick. Cook 3 to 4 minutes per side until deeply golden.
  3. Rest 1 minute, slice diagonally, and serve immediately with warm gravy.

Notes

If your stuffing is very crumbly, mix it with a spoonful of leftover gravy before layering so it binds together and doesn't spill out during pressing.
