Cheesy Turkey Cranberry Melts Recipes

TURKEY CRANBERRY GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spread 4 slices of bread with Dijon mustard. Layer with cheese, turkey and cranberry sauce; top with remaining bread. Spread outsides of sandwiches with butter, spreading butter all the way to to the edges of the bread. Place sandwiches in the skillet, pressing down lightly with the back of a spatula. Cover and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Serve immediately.

TURKEY, CRANBERRY AND FONTINA PANINI

Steps:

• For each sandwich, lay 2 slices bread on a work surface. Lay about 3/4 ounce cheese on one slice of the bread; top with 2 ounces turkey meat, 2 tablespoons relish, about 5-6 arugula leaves and an additional 3/4 ounce cheese. Top with the other bread slice (there should be cheese next to each bread slice). Repeat with remaining ingredients.
• Brush the top of the sandwich with olive oil; heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Put the sandwich, oiled-side down, into the pan, place a small heavy pan, or aluminum foil-wrapped brick on top of the sandwich to press it down. Cook until bread is golden and crisp and cheese is beginning to melt, about 5 minutes. Remove the heavy pan or brick, brush the top of the sandwich with oil and carefully flip it. Put the heavy pan or brick back on top of the sandwich and continue cooking until bottom bread slice is browned and crisp, cheese is melted, and sandwich is heated through, about 5 minutes more. Remove from the pan and cover to keep warm while cooking the remaining sandwiches.
• To serve, slice each sandwich on the diagonal and serve warm.

• Heat a large frying pan over medium heat, and add the sandwiches. Cook until golden brown (about 4 - 5 minutes on each side), and the cheese has melted.
• Serve immediately, and enjoy!

BAKED TURKEY AND CRANBERRY SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
• Whisk melted butter with Dijon mustard, dried onion, and Worcestershire in a small bowl.
• Place the bottom halves of the rolls into the prepared pan. Spread mayonnaise and additional Dijon mustard to taste along the rolls. Spread cranberry sauce. Add turkey and 1/2 slice of cheese to each. Top with arugula and top halves of the rolls. Spread melted butter mixture evenly over tops. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
