Prepare Ingredients
- If not already sliced, thin-slice your brie cheese. Take out the softened butter and mayonnaise. You want them easy to spread.
- Lightly butter one side of each sourdough slice. On the unbuttered side of four slices, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise. Layer half of the turkey on each of these four slices, followed by the brie cheese, then the cranberry sauce, and finally a handful of baby arugula or spinach. Season lightly with black pepper.
- Top with the remaining four bread slices, butter-side out. Gently press down on each sandwich to secure the fillings.
Preheat Skillet
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place 2-3 sandwiches (depending on skillet size) butter-side down. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is beautifully golden brown and the cheese just begins to soften and melt.
- Using a sturdy spatula, flip the sandwiches and cook for another 3-5 minutes on the second side. Continue cooking until the bread is golden, the brie is gloriously melted, and the sandwich is warmed through.
- Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice them in half diagonally, and serve immediately while they're warm and gooey.
Notes
For an extra layer of flavor, try mixing a tiny bit of Dijon mustard into the mayonnaise before spreading. This sandwich is fantastic for using up leftover Thanksgiving turkey and cranberry sauce! It pairs wonderfully with a side of sweet potato fries or a simple green salad.
