A great way to use up left over turkey and cranberry sauce. This is an OceanSpray recipe that was posted in the Houston Chronicle. Very yummy! What's more American than turkey and cranberry sauce. This recipe represents the Southwestern region of the US because of chile and monterey jack cheese.

Yield 2 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 slices Italian bread or 4 slices ciabatta
2 tablespoons cranberry sauce
2 tablespoons mayonnaise

8 ounces sliced turkey
2 slices monterey jack cheese
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Stir cranberry sauce, mayonnaise and chipotle chile in a small bowl until well-mixed.
  • Spread cut surfaces of bread with cranberry mixture; place 1/2 of spinach (or lettuce) on each of two slices of bread, then an onion slice each, then 1/2 the turkey each, then a slice of cheese on each; place the other two slices of bread on top of each stack and slightly flatten by hand.
  • Brush both outer sides of sandwiches with olive oil.
  • Heat sandwiches in a panini press for about 5 minutes, or heat them in a large skillet over medium heat turning after five minutes or until the sandwich is toasted on both sides and hot throughout.

Time 50m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 slices whole-grain bread
6 ounces thinly sliced Fontina cheese
8 ounces sliced leftover turkey
1/2 cup leftover cranberry relish
1 cup arugula leaves
Extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • For each sandwich, lay 2 slices bread on a work surface. Lay about 3/4 ounce cheese on one slice of the bread; top with 2 ounces turkey meat, 2 tablespoons relish, about 5-6 arugula leaves and an additional 3/4 ounce cheese. Top with the other bread slice (there should be cheese next to each bread slice). Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  • Brush the top of the sandwich with olive oil; heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Put the sandwich, oiled-side down, into the pan, place a small heavy pan, or aluminum foil-wrapped brick on top of the sandwich to press it down. Cook until bread is golden and crisp and cheese is beginning to melt, about 5 minutes. Remove the heavy pan or brick, brush the top of the sandwich with oil and carefully flip it. Put the heavy pan or brick back on top of the sandwich and continue cooking until bottom bread slice is browned and crisp, cheese is melted, and sandwich is heated through, about 5 minutes more. Remove from the pan and cover to keep warm while cooking the remaining sandwiches.
  • To serve, slice each sandwich on the diagonal and serve warm.

Tips:

  • For a crispier panini, butter both sides of the bread before grilling.
  • Use a heavy-duty skillet or griddle to prevent the bread from sticking.
  • Cook the panini over medium heat so that the bread has time to brown and the cheese has time to melt.
  • Press down on the panini with a spatula or panini press to ensure even cooking.
  • Serve the panini immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

The turkey and cranberry panini is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With its combination of sweet and savory flavors, this panini is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this turkey and cranberry panini a try!
