Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 2 slices of whole wheat bread
  • ~2 tablespoon homemade cranberry sauce
  • 2 oz of leftover turkey breast chicken or deli turkey would also work
  • 1 oz smoked cheddar cheese sliced thin (or gouda)

Instructions
 

  • Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the oil.
    1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • While the skillet is heating, spread the cranberry sauce on one slice of bread. Top it with the turkey, cheese, and then the other slice of bread.
    2 slices of whole wheat bread, ~2 tablespoon homemade cranberry sauce, 2 oz of leftover turkey breast, 1 oz smoked cheddar cheese
  • Place the sandwich in the skillet, cover, and lower the heat just a touch -- this is my secret to the perfect grilled cheese.
  • Leave it alone for 4-5 minutes then check the bottom slice for toastyness. Once golden brown, flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the second slice of bread is toasted and the cheese is melted in the middle.
  • Cut in half and enjoy!
