Cranberry Turkey Sandwich

December 4, 2012 by Jaida Leave a Comment

Thanksgiving has passed, all the leftovers are gone by now and most of our focus has shifted to Christmas. However, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make this sandwich! Besides, who says turkey and cranberry sauce are only for Thanksgiving? Pish tosh to that!

The original recipe called for canned cranberry sauce, which you are welcome to use, but I opted to make my own instead. Pair that with the cream cheese, spinach, and smoked turkey on a buttery croissant, and that is one fan-freaking-tastic sandwich!!!

Fresh cranberries are readily available in the produce section of the grocery store, so pick some up on your next trip and then make this sandwich!! It’s makes a great lunch and is perfect for the season.

Ingredients

  • 6 oz fresh cranberries (or canned cranberry sauce, if you prefer)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Croissants or bread of choice
  • Cream cheese, softened
  • Baby spinach
  • Freshly sliced roasted turkey lunchmeat, from the deli section
Preparation
  1. Place cranberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan and heat to boiling. Stir, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes or until cranberries start to pop and break apart.
  2. Remove from heat and stir. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then remove to a bowl and refrigerate for a couple of hours, allowing the sauce to thicken.
  3. Slice your croissant in half, spread a layer of cream cheese on the bottom half, then top with several leaves of spinach, 3-4 slices of turkey, a spoonful of cranberry sauce, and the top half of your croissant.

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
