Ingredients

▢ 2 slices sturdy bread sliced thickly
▢ 1 tablespoon olive oil or softened/melted butter
▢ 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
▢ ¾ cup shredded turkey (Note 1)
▢ 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce
▢ ½ cup stuffing
▢ 2 slices provolone cheese

Instructions

Heat a grill pan, skillet, or panini press to medium-high heat.
Brush the outside of the bread slices with the oil or butter, and spread the mustard on the inside of the top slice.
Layer the non-oiled side of the bottom slice with the leftover ingredients: turkey, cranberry sauce, and stuffing (in that order). Place the provolone on the inside of the top slice and put the sandwich together.
Place the sandwich on the hot grill pan, skillet, or panini press, and gently press it together to help it become cohesive. Place a heavy pan on top of the sandwich if not using a panini maker. After one side turns golden brown, flip the sandwich over to cook the other side. Remove when the outside is crisp, the inside is hot, and the cheese is melted.

Notes

Note 1: You may want to reheat the turkey and stuffing because the sandwich may not cook long enough to heat the generous filling thoroughly. The quickest way to do this is to warm them in the microwave.
