Treat your ingredients with care...

  • 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.
  • Cranberry sauce — Opt for homemade cranberry sauce for a fresher and more vibrant flavor. If using store-bought, choose a high-quality brand with a good balance of sweetness and tartness.

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.
