Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 6 ounces Cooked turkey
- 4 tablespoons Cranberry sauce
- 1 cup Stuffing
- 4 tablespoons Gravy
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a panini press or a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Step 3
Lay two slices of bread, buttered side down, on a clean work surface.
Step 4
Layer the turkey evenly on both slices of bread, followed by the stuffing.
Step 5
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of gravy over the stuffing on each sandwich.

Step 7
Top with a slice of Swiss cheese on each sandwich.
Step 8
Place the remaining slices of bread on top, buttered side up.

Transfer the sandwiches to the preheated panini press or skillet. If using a skillet, press the sandwiches down with a heavy object, such as another skillet, to compress them.

Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side (or 4-5 minutes total in a panini press), until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
