Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups turkey
  • 4 slices of bread
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoon cranberry sauce
  • handful arugula or butter lettuce
  • pinch salt
  • pinch black pepper

Instructions

  • Slice your turkey breasts into several pieces. Drizzle a little olive oil in your skillet and use tongs to place the turkey. Cook for 4-5 minutes, turning to heat both sides. Check for an internal temperature of 165F at their deepest point.
  • Once cooled, use two forks to shred the turkey.
  • Spread your slices of bread with cream cheese on one, and cranberry sauce on another.
  • Add the turkey and arugula. Season with salt and black pepper, then assemble your sandwich.

Notes

  • If leftover turkey works for you, then skip steps 1 & 2, and assemble your sandwich.
  • For a homemade recipe, my cranberry sauce is easy and delicious.
  • If mayo works for you, then add a smear to the sandwich.
  • Add any extras to your filling, such as cucumber or radish slices or slivered almonds.
