Ingredients
- 4 slices of sourdough or multigrain bread
- 4 oz sliced cooked turkey (deli or leftover)
- 4 oz brie cheese, sliced (rind optional)
- 1 cup mixed fresh greens (arugula, spinach, or spring mix)
- 2 tsp cranberry sauce or Dijon mustard (optional)
- 2 tbsp butter or olive oil (for grilling)
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
- Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread (this will be the outside for grilling).
- On the unbuttered side, layer brie slices, turkey, and fresh greens. Add cranberry sauce or Dijon mustard if desired.
- Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side out.
- Place the sandwich in the skillet and grill for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing slightly, until bread is golden and brie is melted.
- Remove from skillet and let rest for 1 minute before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use fig jam instead of cranberry sauce for a sweeter flavor.
- Add thinly sliced apples or pears for extra crunch and sweetness.
- Camembert or havarti can be used as alternatives to brie.
- Add toasted walnuts or pecans for texture.
- Try using a panini press for a crisp, café-style finish.
