Turkey Cranberry Panini
Turkey Stuffing Bread is wonderful for stuffing and makes great sandwiches after Thanksgiving too! This was lunch today, I have been thinking about this sandwich ever since I found a recipe for Turkey Stuffing Bread. I spent the weekend testing recipes for turkey leftovers so I had set aside some turkey breast for the sandwiches. I made a homemade cranberry chutney to use on the sandwich also. I also use this cranberry chutney with brie during the holidays, it is so pretty and festive. For some reason I had never wrote that recipe down and I found the one I use back in 90’s in one of those little magazines you get at the grocery store. I am still trying to get organized in my new house so that I can find everything so sometimes finding things can present a challenge.
