This delicious cranberry swirl bread is what to do with your left-over cranberry sauce! This bread makes a fabulous left-over turkey sandwich!
For Canadians, Thanksgiving has come and gone already, but the left-overs live on. It seems that every year I pull out my handy-dandy recipe for cranberry sauce and cook up a batch. And every year, I have 95% of it left after the meal is over. You’d think I’d learn, but in the 360-ish days that separate each Thanksgiving, somehow that little nugget of knowledge disappears ;)
Leftover Cranberry Turkey Sandwich + Wonkywonderful
So that’s the backstory for this bread. It’s “what I did with left-over cranberry sauce” and if I do say so myself, it was pretty awesome. Honestly, this bread makes a killer left-over turkey sandwich!
Cranberry Sauce – if you have left-over cranberry sauce, you’re all set. If not, you could certainly make some or simply use canned cranberry sauce.
Instant Yeast – this recipe starts with Instant Yeast, such as SAF yeast. Bread machine yeast would also work here. If you only have Active Dry yeast, you will need to proof it in some of the water before adding to the dough.
Turkey Cranberry And Grilled Brie Cheese Sandwich
Walnuts – I love the addition of walnuts to this bread, for crunch and flavour. You can certainly omit them if you like.
I must warn you though, this bread is a bit messy to make. It will look like a hot mess when you get it in to the baking pan. Just go with it though and trust that it will be beautiful once it’s baked, because it will be. I suggest a fairly thick cranberry sauce. If yours isn’t, maybe drain the loosest liquid off before spreading it on the bread dough, just to keep the mess a bit under control.
I’ve included my cranberry sauce recipe in the Recipe Card below, if anyone’s interested. It uses orange juice and zest, which makes great added flavour in this bread, too. I added walnuts to my bread, which I love, but feel free to omit if you like.

Making a hot Turkey Sandwich that doesn’t fall apart is an art, an art that I have mastered. So let’s walk through the process step-by-step, and don’t forget to watch the video!
Place a slice of cheese on each piece of bread. This is the “glue” of this turkey sandwich recipe. The cheese melts from both sides and holds everything together beautifully.
Cranberry Cheese And Prosciutto Sandwich
Next, on one piece of bread, spread cranberry sauce on top of the slice of cheese, then arrange ¼ lb. of turkey on top of the cranberry sauce. Be sure to use thin slices and cover the bread area.
Next, place the other piece of cheese, then the other slice of bread on top of the half with turkey & cranberry sauce. Butter the outside of one of the pieces of bread.
Place the Thanksgiving turkey sandwich onto a large non-stick skillet, buttered side down – leaving room for the second sandwich as well. Spread butter on the outside of the other slice of bread (that should now be facing up).
The Best Turkey Cranberry Sandwich
Turn the heat on to medium-low and cover the skillet with a lid. Both the lid and the low temperature are important to heat the ingredients and melt the cheese. Cook on medium-low for 4-5 minutes, or until the bottom slice of bread is golden-brown.
Flip the cranberry turkey sandwich over, turn heat to low and continue cooking an additional 4-5 minutes until the second side is golden-brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve this leftover turkey sandwich immediately, warm with a side salad, or some of your favorite Thanksgiving leftovers (like mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, Brussel sprout salad, butternut squash soup, etc).

The cranberry turkey sandwich stores really well. If you have any leftover sandwich pieces simply let them cool to room temperature, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat to re-crisp the outside of the bread. You can also warm leftovers in the microwave but it will lose some of the outer crispiness.
I suggest using leftovers of this Roast turkey recipe. It’s great in this sandwich as well as turkey pot pie and turkey tetrazzini!
