Description
Turkey and Cranberry Grilled Cheese combines savory turkey, tangy cranberry sauce, and gooey cheddar cheese, all nestled between crispy sourdough bread for a comforting delight.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 4 oz cooked turkey breast, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp cranberry sauce (preferably homemade)
- 2 oz sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Gather Your Ingredients: Lay out all ingredients for easy access while cooking.
- Preheat Your Pan: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Optionally, add a bit of olive oil with the butter for added flavor.
- Assemble Your Sandwich: Spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. On the unbuttered side, layer turkey slices, followed by cranberry sauce and grated cheddar cheese. Top with another slice of bread (buttered side out).
- Grill: Place the assembled sandwich in the preheated pan. Cook until golden brown on one side (about 3-4 minutes), then flip carefully using a spatula.
- Melt It Down: After flipping, press gently with the spatula to help melt the cheese inside. Cook until both sides are golden brown and crispy (another 3-4 minutes).
- Slice and Serve: Remove from the pan and let cool slightly before slicing in half to enjoy the melted goodness!
