Cranberry Turkey Monte Cristo (a yummy way to use Thanksgiving leftovers)
Cranberry sauce, turkey, and nourishing sourdough bread all come together for a delicious post-Thanksgiving meal.
Author: April Swiger
Serves: 4 sandwiches
Ingredients
8 Slices of sourdough bread
½ Cup cranberry sauce (divided 1 tablespoon per slice of bread)
8 oz of leftover turkey
4 Eggs
¾ Cup milk (use coconut milk for dairy-free)
Butter, or coconut oil, for the pan
Slices of cheddar or brie cheese
Instructions
Lay out your bread slices and spread about a tablespoon of cranberry sauce on each slice.
Assemble your sandwiches with leftover turkey, and any cheese you desire. Cheddar or brie are wonderful choices.
In a container wide enough to fit your sandwich, use a fork to scramble the eggs and milk together. One at a time place the entire sandwich in the egg and milk mixture for a few seconds allowing it to soak up the contents a bit. Flip the entire sandwich and allow the other piece of bread to soak.
Immediately place it in a hot skillet with butter. Flip when one side is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. I find that it helps to weigh the sandwich down with a panini press, a brick wrapped in parchment paper, or a teapot half filled with water ;)
