Sweet Kale, Turkey and Cranberry Sandwich

Get those leftovers ready! You will need carved turkey breast, kale, cranberry sauce, and sliced sourdough bread to make this sandwich. We think it’s the perfect way to enjoy your Thanksgiving turkey after the fact, but you can buy carved turkey to enjoy a few of these sandwiches any other time of year, too!

Get your ingredients ready!

Best cooked in a skillet

Cooking this sandwich in a skillet is the best way to get toasty ingredients and crunchy bread. By adding each ingredient to the bread while it’s in the skillet, you’ll allow the sandwich to warm naturally and thoroughly with no cold spots. We love that first bite of a hot sandwich.
