Instructions

Step 1: Spread 2 tbsp mayonnaise evenly over 4 slices of sourdough bread. Top each with 2 oz thinly sliced roasted turkey breast, then spread 1 tbsp cranberry sauce over the turkey.
Step 2: Layer 1 cup fresh arugula evenly over the cranberry sauce, then place 1 slice Swiss cheese on top. Season with black pepper to taste.
Step 3: Cover sandwiches with remaining 4 slices of sourdough bread. Spread 2 tbsp softened unsalted butter on the outside of each sandwich.
Step 4: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place sandwiches buttered-side-down and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cheese begins to melt. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 3 minutes until golden and cheese is fully melted.
Step 5: Remove sandwiches from skillet, let rest for 2 minutes, then slice in half and serve immediately to enjoy the harmony of tart cranberry and savory turkey.
