- Turkey — To ensure moist and tender turkey slices, use leftover roasted turkey or roast a turkey breast specifically for this sandwich. Slice the turkey thinly against the grain for the best texture.

Tips & Tricks
- For added flavor, consider adding a layer of stuffing or mashed potatoes to the sandwich.
- If you prefer a warm sandwich, heat the assembled sandwich in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
- Experiment with different bread types such as ciabatta or rye for a unique twist.
Serving advice
Serve the Hot Turkey and Cranberry Sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, drizzle a little extra gravy on top of the sandwich and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme.
