Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Spread butter on one side of each bread slice.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet. Spread mayonnaise on the top side.
Layer the turkey slices evenly on the bread in the skillet.
Spread cranberry sauce over the turkey, then add the stuffing on top.
If using, add lettuce and cheese on top of the stuffing.
Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up. Press down lightly.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then flip carefully and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
Remove from skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve warm.
Chef's Tips
- Bread Choice: Use a sturdy bread like sourdough or ciabatta to hold all the fillings without getting soggy.
- Extra Flavor: Add a smear of mashed potatoes or gravy for an extra Thanksgiving touch.
- Crispy Stuffing: Reheat the stuffing in a pan before adding it to the sandwich for extra crispiness.
- Cheese Melt: If using cheese, cover the skillet with a lid for the last minute to help it melt.
- Variations: Try adding sliced avocado or a fried egg for a different twist.
