Description

Indulge in the comforting layers of creamy brie, tender turkey, and sweet cranberry sauce, all nestled between crispy sourdough bread.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated or finely chopped
  • 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 Tbsp. honey
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 cups packed leftover shredded or chopped turkey
  • 8 slices sourdough bread
  • 8 oz. brie, sliced into 16 slices
  • 12 Tbsp. cranberry sauce, divided, plus more for serving
  • 4 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the grated garlic, melted butter, honey, salt, and pepper. Mix until blended, then add the shredded turkey and toss to coat.
  2. Layer a slice of bread with two slices of brie, 1½ tablespoons of cranberry sauce, and a quarter of the turkey mixture. Top with more cranberry sauce and another two slices of brie. Cover with another slice of bread and repeat for remaining sandwiches.
  3. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Cook the sandwiches, turning halfway until golden brown and brie is melting, about 2-4 minutes per side.
  4. Serve hot, accompanied by additional cranberry sauce.

Notes

For healthier alternatives, consider using whole-grain bread, lean turkey, or low-fat cheese options.
