Turkey Cranberry Sandwich

Turkey Cranberry Sandwich

“Yummo! Great sandwich. This was the first time that I've added cream cheese to my turkey sandwich, but it will now become our tradition to do it in the future. It really kept it moist and good. I used my grand marnier cranberries and this made a great (but messy!) sandwich.” - lazyme5909 “This turkey sandwich is the bomb. So much flavor, great textures and it was really quick and easy to make. Made as written but I did omit the mayo. I made fresh homemade orange cranberry sauce to use in this recipe, it worked well and was so good.” - BabyKato

“These croquettes are a great way to use your leftover turkey and stuffing. The Cheese-Its crumbs add a bit more flavor than traditional bread crumbs.

You can serve with a dressing but, honestly, this turkey croquette was yummy all by itself.” - The Kitchen Crew
