What to do with all that Turkey! True you can always make a sandwich but you don’t have to settle for just any ordinary sandwich. Make it with a cranberry and Goat cheese spread.


Serves 4
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 ounces goat cheese
  • 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecan
  • 8 slices whole wheat berry bread or any bread will do
  • 8 slices turkey
  • optional: Romaine lettuce leaves
  • optional: Add cranberry jelly or relish to sandwich to give more flavor and this also keeps the sandwich more moist

    Instructions

    Mix together the cream cheese and goat cheese. Add dried cranberries and chopped pecans. Place 2 or 3 Romaine lettuce leaves on 4 slices of whole-wheat berry bread, top each with several slices turkey. Spread the cream cheese mixture on remaining 4 slices of bread and top the sandwiches, slice in half and serve.
