Description
Thinking about what to do with your leftover holiday turkey? Why not reinvent a classic grilled cheese with sliced turkey, brie, and a leftover cranberry sauce spread? This sandwich is so delicious you may be making it year-round with rotisserie chicken from your grocery store and canned cranberry sauce.
Ingredients
Sweet And Tangy Spread:
- ⅓ cup leftover cranberry sauce, (whole or jellied. Canned or homemade)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 Tablespoon hot sauce, (I used Frank’s)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Sandwiches:
- 16 slices leftover holiday turkey ( or deli roasted chicken)
- Butter, room temperature
- 8 ounces brie cheese, cut into ¼-inch slices
- 8 slices sourdough bread
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
In a small bowl, stir the cranberry sauce, mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
Generously butter one side of 4 slices of bread.
Place the slices, butter side down, onto a parchment or silicone-lined baking sheet.
Place 4 slices of turkey on each piece of bread, then top with brie slices.
Spread the cranberry spread on one side of the remaining bread.
Place the bread, cranberry side down, on top of the turkey and brie.
Generously spread butter on the top side of the bread.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes. Flip the sandwich and continue baking for 6-8 minutes or until the bread is golden and crispy.
Cut each sandwich in half diagonally, and serve hot.
