Gobble Gobble fancy sandwich

From Martha Stewart: mine looks similar to this
So do you have any leftover meat from thanksgiving? A slice or 2 of ripe delicious turkey? A dollop of sweet and sour cranberry?

I have the perfect recipe to put all your extras together for something simple and different. I actually sampled a recipe like this at a local restaurant and figured i could definitely make this at home for way cheaper.

Ingredients:

Turkey: either leftover slices or the deli at any market usually has carved turkey. (deli slices are not as cool in this sandwich)

Cranberry sauce: canned or fresh...whatever you have

Brie: a small triangle is enough for 2 
Mayo: about a 2 tablespoons (depends on if you like mayo, and how much you want to put on)

Ciabatta, or foccacia bread: i usually get the ciabatta rolls


What to do:

Mix mayo with the cranberry sauce to your liking.

Slice the rolls or bread

Grease a skillet, either butter, olive oil or spray...and get hot

Assemble a sandwich of turkey and sliced brie with the bread and place in the skillet. Place another pan or heat proof hard object on top of the sandwich. I think i use a heavy frying pan. This will flatten the sandwich and help to melt the cheese
Let the cheese melt (this is basically like a grilled cheese), don't forget to flip the sandwich at some point

Remove from heat. Apply mayo to taste




The melted brie, cranberry, and turkey are such a fantastic combination. And this dinner is very filling. I tend to make a side salad with mixed greens to accompany this sandwich
