Turkey, Cranberry & Brie Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
This grilled cheese is the delicious answer of what to do with Thanksgiving leftovers! Full of Thanksgiving flavors and plenty of brie cheese, you may just end up loving your leftovers more than ever!
Servings 2 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 4 slices thick, sturdy bread (italian, ciabatta, sourdough, etc)
- 5 tbsp cranberry sauce
- 100g brie cheese , cut into slices
- 8 oz roast turkey
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Spread butter on one side of each of the pieces of bread. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and put two slices of bread butter side down in the skillet. Add 2 tablespoons of the cranberry sauce to each of those slices, then evenly divide the brie cheese and turkey over top. Spread the remaining tablespoon of cranberry sauce on the last two slices of bread and place them cranberry sauce side down to top off the sandwiches.
- Cook for a few minutes, pressing down gently on the sandwiches with the turner/spatula to gently flatten them. Allow to cook until the bread is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook another minute or two until that side is also golden brown. (Alternatively, if you have a panini press you could also cook the sandwiches on this.) Remove from skillet and serve immediately.
Notes
The amount of turkey, cranberry sauce, and brie may vary depending on how big the slices of your bread are. Feel free to add more or less depending on the size, to cover the whole thing.
