About


Here's another one for my cousin-in-law Julie! A fresh alternative to the classic grilled cheese. This sandwich marries sweet cranberry sauce with savory smoked turkey and Swiss cheese. And since you'll have fresh arugula on hand, serve this sandwich with a side arugula salad for a delicious lunch. I've listed the ingredients below without specific measurements, so use amounts according to taste preferences. I cooked this in my grill pan for panini-looking toast, but any skillet will do.
