First of all, let me start by saying if you haven’t tried making your own cranberry sauce, I highly recommend it! I don’t hate the canned cranberry sauce but you’ll really notice the difference with a homemade one. I usually always make my own to go with a roast turkey and this time I made a really big batch and froze some in small portions in the freezer. I’ve been stirring it into yogurt, oatmeal, everything! It’s so good!

Anyway, the reason I am going on about cranberry sauce is because it is SO GOOD in a turkey sandwich! That leftover turkey we all love is perfect with leftover cranberry sauce and cheese in an ooey gooey toasted sandwich.

How do you make this turkey cranberry sandwich?

This sandwich is so simple! You’ll need the following:

• leftover oven roasted turkey breast
• cranberry sauce
• provolone cheese
• sourdough bread
• unsalted butter
• mayo
• chopped walnuts

1. When you’re ready to make the sandwich, start by slathering one side of two different pieces of sourdough bread with mayo. Add a few tablespoons of cranberry sauce to one of the slices of bread, followed by the chopped walnuts.

2. On top of the walnuts, add the leftover turkey breast. Place two slices of provolone cheese on top of the turkey, followed by the second piece of bread.

3. Spread 1 tablespoon of the softened butter on top of the sandwich. Place the buttered side down on to a frying pan on the stove, heated over medium heat. Use the remaining butter to butter the other side of the sandwich.

4. Place a lid on the frying pan and turn the heat to low. Cook the sandwich for 4-5 minutes on one side, before carefully flipping the sandwich and cooking it on the other side for another 4-5 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Now slice the sandwich in half and enjoy!

Do you have to use sourdough bread for this sandwich?

Absolutely not, but it really does taste great with the creamy provolone and tart cranberry sauce! I’ve also made this sandwich with a multigrain bread. You would probably have great luck my beer bread too!

If you’re using a bread that is smaller in size than the sourdough pictured here, just adjust the amount of ingredients you use accordingly.

Can you double the recipe to feed more?

This sandwich recipe can easily be doubled, tripled or more to feed a crowd! It’s actually a great easy lunch or dinner for the family. The recipe card below does the adjusting for you if you click the 2x or 3x.

What do you serve this turkey cranberry sandwich with?

If you have any leftover salad from the holidays, this sandwich will go great with that. If you’d like to make your own side or salad to go along, I highly recommend:

• roasted butternut squash and cranberry salad
• sauteed shredded brussels sprouts
• healthy cabbage salad

Some of my other favorite sandwiches from the blog:

• apple turkey sandwich
• turkey pesto sandwich
• air fryer turkey quesadillas
• grilled buffalo turkey sandwich

If you have extra sandwich, you can store it in the fridge, in an airtight container for 1-2 days. It tastes great cold too!
