Perhaps it’s a good thing Thanksgiving only happens once a year.  This decadent Turkey Grilled Cheese sandwich with cranberry mustard might be a little over the top, but once a year, it seems . . . . reasonable, doesn’t it? The perfect way to use up all your leftover turkey!

To make the Cranberry Mustard, simply mix cranberry sauce with whole grain mustard! It’s delicious!

Pure and total comfort food.

Use what cheese you have on hand. I happened to have brie, but any meltable cheese you like will taste good here. White cheddar, gruyere, mozzarella,  swiss, etc.

On the homefront: In the coming weeks, our life will get crazy once more with all the holiday catering and events. In some ways, I almost dread this time of year, because for me it’s fraught with worries and anxieties about work.

In the end, it always turns out, but still I manage to get myself all wound up about it. I want everything to be good, and perfect of course. 🙂

So this week feels like the calm before the storm. I’m trying to soak up the little moments as I can. Early mornings spent fireside.  Sunlight.  Brisk walks. Twinkling stars. Focusing on the good things, the amazing things really, that I normally don’t give a second thought to. Like breathing.

So here’s to breathing. To being alive today. To get to experience one more day of this thrilling roller coaster ride with all its beauty, magic, frustration and heartache.

Cranberry Mustard is easy to make. Put everything in a bowl and stir.

Cranberry Mustard tastes quite good with anything rich, meaty or gamey.

Layer the bread, turkey, cheese, and a generous helping of cranberry mustard and a few leaves of thyme.

Pan-sear in a skillet on each side in a mixture of butter and oil, until perfectly golden.
TIP:  Finish the sandwich in a warm oven until the brie is melty.
Cut and serve with a green salad.
This is a nice one to share. 🙂

This morning, my heart feels thankful. To those who raised me, to those who have befriended me. To he who stands by my side, day in and day out, steady and faithful. To the trees for waving their long arms in the wind. To the birds who sing for the pure joy of it. To the sky for being so big and full and endless. To my cat for laying by my side, purring her loving energy into me each morning as I watch the sun slowly rise up, shining its light on my face for seven glorious minutes before slipping behind the big sycamore . . . . thank you.

Have a happy Thanksgiving!

    Wasn’t sure how to make the whole cranberries turn into a creamy sauce….?

      Hi Rachel….the cranberries are turned into a flavorful mustard. The creaminess is from melty brie. Together, it’s pretty delicious. You could just mix cranberry sauce and whole grain mustard to get the same effect. 🙂

        Thanks for the fast reply! I did try making it and I crushed the cranberries manually with a slotted spoon while they were cooking. The end result seemed okay except my husband said it was bitter so we are letting it sit in the fridge overnight in hopes that it just needed more time to settle. I hope it’s no longer bitter now and/or doesn’t require more sugar!

    Delicious! I made about 1/4 of the recipe for a party – the spread was roasted garlic + pumpkin hummus, raw and roasted vegetables, and some pickles. It was perfect! Everyone loved it. I’ll definitely be making it again, at full scale, for my next holiday bash and to keep as a staple at home. Thanks again – it’s a keeper in my household!

    Yeah, it is very very very good that Thanksgiving only comes once a year if you actually eat a sandwich like this. It is decadent!!! Talk about wanting to bite the screen. But what I really liked about the post was how grateful you are for the everything things we take for grant it. Hugs and gobble gobble—that’s turkey talk for Happy Thanksgiving!
