Thanksgiving Monte Cristo Sammies

We were in the mood for Thanksgiving already.

I know this isn't a traditional Monte Cristo, but we're going with that name instead of "Leftover Thanksgiving Sammies".  


It's Monday so that means with work and all our running around dinner needs to be fast.  With the exception cooking the Stove Top, this is basically an assembly line setup.

INGREDIENTS

Stove Top Stuffing in Turkey
Oil/Spray Butter/Butter
Sliced Bread
Sliced Turkey
1 Can of Jellied Cranberry Sauce

DIRECTIONS

First cook the Stove Top to the box directions.  I omitted the butter, but you can keep it if you prefer.  Start building the sammies by adding cranberry sauce to the bread.  We used rye, but I know that flavor isn't for everyone so you can sub in your favorite sliced bread.  Add the sliced turkey, stuffing, and layer more cranberry sauce on the other slice of bread. On medium heat in a medium sized pan, spray cooking spray (melt butter or use 1 Tbsp. of vegetable oil) and grill the sammies like a grilled cheese.  It's that simple.  You can make a soup to go with this, but it's a hearty sandwich and we have it by itself or with chips.
