Cranberry Thanksgiving Turkey Sandwich

This was a great sandwich! I did add a slice of cheddar cheese which was tasty! This is a great way to have that Thanksgiving flavor in a quick way at any time of the year!

Sorry Butterball. Wasn't a fan. I was surprised, because I like all the flavors together, but the cranberry sauce just overtook the sandwich and made it gooshy and overly sweet. I even tried remaking it with the dijionnaise in hopes to cut down the sweetness, and still wasn't a fan.

I couldn't find the Butterball brand so subbed store brand. While I'm not a huge turkey fan, especially that of the processed lunchmeat variety, I but was pleasantly surprised by the maple honey flavor. But this sandwich wasn't a favorite of mine. I guess I'm not much for savory turkey and sweet cranberry sauce together. For the cranberry sauce I whipped up Festive Holiday Cranberry Relish from this site (it is actually a sauce, not a relish). The sandwich looks beautiful when put together but just didn't suit my palate.

As someone who refuses to let her cranberry sauce mingle with any other foods at Thanksgiving, I should have known I wouldn't care for this. My oldest son and I both decided to try it - neither cared for it. We finished our sandwiches but I would not fix it again. The mayo and cranberry mixture I believe are what killed it for me - it was just too odd of a flavor combo.

I made this up for my husband and he said they were ok. They would be better if made with homemade cranberry sauce.

I used homemade rye bread and baby spinach along with the turkey and cranberries. I think this was as good as the roast turkey it started from. Thanks, Butterball !

When thinking about this health conscientious - you have fruit, grain, vegetable, protein, and minimal oil/fat. This is a great quick lunch to end on a full note. It's the thanksgiving sandwich you don't have to feel guilty for!

This sandwich is deliciousness!! A sandwich shop in the area makes this but adds stuffing to it and serves it on a roll. So I did the same, using cornbread stuffing. We both loved it, and it will definitely be a repeat with Thanksgiving leftovers.

Great sandwich recipe! This is a sandwich that I look forward to every year after thanksgiving since I was a kid. It was nice to enjoy this now without having to wait for the holiday!

It gets 3 stars because you have to put cream cheese on one of the slices of bread.

After all these years, I finally asked myself "...why am I eating this only during the Holidays, I love this sandwich?" You can buy Butterball turkey at the deli all year, open a can of cranberry sauce any time, and you're good to go. I'm not a fan of smoky turkey (actually any smoky food), so the sweetness of the maple honey turkey and the cranberry sauce was a win-win in this house.

I loved it - hubs said "No way"! Guess I will be the only one eating a turkey sandwich this way.

Delicious sandwich! My family went crazy over it. The cranberry gave it just the right hint of "Thanksgiving."

I love these sandwiches but I add lftover stuffing...so good! Try it u will like it.

I make turkey all the time and this is the best leftover sandwich-!!!!

We did not care for the cranberry sauce on this. But with that being said the turkey was fantastic. Very flavorful!

I loved this sandwich! I have purchased similar sandwiches for lunch and had no idea how easy it was. I always assumed the cranberry sauce was some type of special, time-consuming, to put together sauce. For the bread I used Ecce Panis multi-grain boule. It worked very well for this. I thought the maple honey turkey went with the cranberry sauce too, versus some other spicy or smoked flavored turkey. Only change I made was using lite mayo with olive oil and basically cutting the suggested amount in half which was plenty. I am also going to try the shredded lettuce again. It made the lettuce less dry. I just used a large piece of romaine, washed and dried it, and cut it into strips with a pair of scissors. Thanks!

Made this for my husband...He loved it! Thanks for your recipe.

Very delicious combo. I used leftover Butterball Maple Roasted Turkey from this site. This is a wonderful leftover turkey sandwich

8 years ago, my soon to be in-law's took me to a place on the river in Galice, OR...where I had this very same sandwich but double decker style....it was fantastic as this recipe was and I was soo happy that my children all loved it....it was our Sunday dinner! Super easy, very tasty and now a kid favorite like mine! TY

This sandwich was easy to put together for a quick workday lunch. There were mixed reviews in my house. My husband was a big fan and thought the sweet & tart cranberry sauce with the savory turkey and hearty 15 grain wheat bread were perfect together. He gave the sandwich 5 stars. I personally did not care for the cranberry sauce on the sandwich and would have given the sandwich 3 stars. I think if I made an aioli mixing the mayo and the cranberry sauce together I would like it better because it wouldn't be such a strong cranberry flavor. If you are a big cranberry sauce fan though - give it a try!

This is SO GOOD. I actually had posted a very similar sandwich recipe to my blog this past January because these flavors just go beautifully together! I use only about 2 tsp of mayo on mine, and sometimes like to add provolone or swiss cheese and maybe some sliced dill pickles to change it up. This time I made it just as stated (just with a little less mayo, and used romaine leaves instead of shredded lettuce) and it is a FANTASTIC sandwich - perfect to pack and enjoy at work. Yumm! :)

I usually make this sandwich after Thanksgiving with leftover turkey (which freezes nicely.) Butterball lunch meat is available in the deli all year. The savory-sweet meat balances nicely with the sweet-tart cranberry sauce. If you like more crunch, like I do, you can either toast the bread or add more lettuce. Delicious!

Quick, easy, and very tasty - this makes for a wonderful lunch. I used whole grain bread (preference) and it was a hit.

I wasn't a huge fan. Too me there needed to be a more prominent crunch factor and I didn't care for the mayo/cranberry mix.

LOVED this! I look forward to Thankgiving leftovers just so I can make this sandwich the next day (except I also add stuffing). I really never think to make this any other time of year, but I should b/c I absolutely love the tart/sweet with the turkey, crunchy lettuce and creamy mayo. Great sandwich..YUM, YUM, YUM!!!!! Thanks for sharing. :)

I wasn't so sure we were going to love this sandwich, but we really did! The cranberry sauce added a nice and unexpected flavor. We did skip the mayonnaise -- I don't like it and BF didn't think he would like it with the cranberry sauce -- but otherwise, I followed the recipe as written. Very tasty...thanks, Butterball!

I totally love this sandwich. Anyone who knows me knows that my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving! Mine always includes a Butter Ball Turkey. My favorite leftovers is the coveted turkey sandwich. I pile it high too with all of the ingredients in this recipe plus some leftover dressing (if there is any). I made this exactly as written with the exception of the turkey it self. It was Butter Ball, but the Maple Honey wasn't available in my area so I used their fully cooked deep-fried turkey breast which I sliced and put on the sandwich. The results were FANTASTIC!
