One of my most favorite sandwiches is made with turkey and cranberry sauce. When I was in jr. high school my uncle owned a deli. Every summer I worked the sandwich counter making several of these turkey cranberry sandwiches. They were a hit with the patrons and soon became my one of my all time favorites to make year round. If you have left over turkey from Thanksgiving or appreciate a good turkey sandwich with a twist – this is the sandwich for you! Enjoy!

Fantastic sandwiches!! I’ll be having something similar with my leftovers this week. Yum!!
Oh yum. Well if I had any leftovers in this house I would make this. I do have a can of cranberry sauce left but turkey and everything else has been scavenged as of Thanksgiving night. My husband, though, is out cooking a small honey brined turkey right now on our BBQ on the rotisserie so I will make this tomorrow night. Not to copy Rachel R. too closely but YUM. O!
Wow, that is the best looking turkey sandwich I’ve seen this week! Great sandwich and perfect photos!
Believe it or not, everyone ate the turkey down to the bone! But this looks good enough that a trip to the shop might be in order…
hahaha! i just told don about those sandwiches yesterday:) sunny deli?
Brilliant stroke to add the sprouts – I’m going to go start a batch right now and freeze the breastmeat so it’s still good by the time they are done.
Broccoli sprouts, here I come!
Your summers spent at the deli counter show in your impeccable sandwich stack, balanced, evenly distributed, and it even looks good after being sliced. I love turkey sandwiches too, but I tend to dip mine in gravy.
Looks delicious and beautiful photos!
This is an awesome sandwich, add a bit of leftover stuffing and some cheddar cheese and you have my most favorite sandwich in the whole world! I am so glad you posted this!
I’m not a big sandwich eater, but this recipe sounds good to me! I love the bright color of the cranberries against the other ingredients in the picture. Beautiful!
You have really brilliant job and thanks for posting that recipe!
I ate that same sandwich for dinner — so amazing! It’s a really popular combo in the UK with turkey, cranberries and arugula and I used to eat it almost every day in the fall when I lived in London.
Regards,
yummy sandwich with leftovers!
