The Leftover Turkey Stacked Sandwich with Cranberry & Stuffing brings together juicy turkey, tangy cranberry sauce, and savory stuffing between hearty bread for a cozy, flavor‑packed sandwich that’s perfect for using up holiday leftovers.

Ingredients

  • Cooked turkey, sliced or shredded (about 1–2 cups)
  • 1/2–1 cup leftover stuffing
  • 2–4 tbsp cranberry sauce
  • 2–4 slices hearty sandwich bread (sourdough, ciabatta, or thick sandwich bread)
  • Butter or mayonnaise (for toasting)
  • Optional: 2 slices cheese (Swiss or provolone)
  • Optional: baby spinach or arugula
  • Optional: gravy (for dipping or drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Warm the turkey and stuffing slightly in a skillet or microwave until just heated through.
  2. Spread butter or mayo on the outside of each slice of bread.
  3. Layer on the inside of the bottom bread slice: turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and cheese or greens if using.
  4. Top with the second slice of bread, butter/mayo side out.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat and grill the sandwich 3–4 minutes per side until the bread is golden and crisp and the filling is warm.
  6. Remove from heat, slice, and serve with gravy or extra cranberry sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Spread cranberry sauce in the center to keep bread from getting soggy.
  • Add a layer of mashed potatoes for an extra comfort‑food touch.
  • Try Dijon mustard or hot honey mixed with cranberry sauce for extra tang.
  • Use a toasted bagel or croissant instead of bread for a different texture.
  • If you want it cold, assemble with fresh bread and eat without toasting.
