- 2 large slices sandwich bread, sturdy

- 2-3 tablespoons cranberry sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup greens of your choice

- Place turkey on top of cheese, add brie if using or a little more cheese. Drizzle with some cranberry sauce and top with final slice of bread.
- Heat a skillet to medium heat. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and place sandwich directly on top of melted butter. (Alternately you could also just spread your butter onto the outside of your sandwich slices). Put a lid on the pan to help melt the cheese.
- Pick up sandwich with spatula and melt remaining butter in pan, flip sandwich on top of melted butter.
- Cook until both sides of bread are toasted and golden and cheese is melted.
- While sandwich is cooking, place greens in a bowl and add a light drizzle of olive oil and vinegar, along with a small sprinkle of salt and pepper. Toss well.
- When sandwich is done, carefully open it and stuff in greens. Serve immediately.
