OK, I know Turkey Sandwiches are the obvious choice for Thanksgiving Leftovers, but *this* turkey sandwich is elevated! Plus, you’ll already have the cranberry sauce on hand. Just try it. My family loved these better than the turkey dinner.
I got this recipe out of my Food Network cookbook.
Turkey Monte Cristo Sandwich
ingredients
- 8 slices challah (1/2 inch thick) or 8 slices brioche bread (1/2 inch thick)
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 6 ounces sliced Muenster cheese
- 12 ounces thinly sliced cooked turkey breast
- kosher salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- 2/3 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
directions

1. Mix the Mayo and Mustard. To make the sandwiches: Lay the bread out on the work surface. Spread one side of each slice with the mustard mixture. Spread half of the cheese on 4 slices of the bread. Cover with half of the turkey and season with salt and pepper to taste. Evenly spread the cranberry on the turkey on the sandwich. Top with the remaining turkey; season with salt and pepper to taste, and cover with the remaining cheese and bread. Press down slightly on each sandwich.

3. Heat 2 large skillets over medium-low heat, add a 2 tablespoon of butter to each pan. Dip and coat each of the sandwiches in the egg mixture and lay in the pans. Cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
