Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Slices of Sourdough Bread
- 1 tbsp Cinnamon Honey Butter (optional)
- 2 tbsp Leftover Cranberry Sauce
- 1/4 cup Leftover Turkey
- 1 Slice Sharp White Cheddar Cheese
- 1 tbsp Avocado Oil or Cooking Spray
Instructions
- Pre-heat panini press to medium heat. If your press has a temperature dial, aim for 350°F. If it doesn’t, just turn it on and let it warm up while you build.
- Spread cinnamon honey butter onto the inside of each of the pieces of bread. This is optional, but tastes SO good! Do not spread the butter on the outside because it caramelizes too quickly between the hot plates of the panini press. Place butter side in.
- Layer thin slices of leftover turkey or chunks of turkey onto one side of the bread.
- Spoon the cranberry sauce onto the top of the turkey spreading it almost to the edges.
- Top with a slice of cheese and place the second slice of bread on top with the buttered side facing in.
- Spray the panini maker with avocado oil or cooking spray.
- Place the sandwich inside the press and drop the lid quickly. Note, if you close the lid too slowly the sandwich slides out.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the outside is golden brown and the cheese melts.
