2 tablespoons whole-berry cranberry sauce
8 ounces thinly sliced roasted turkey breast
4 slices Swiss cheese
4 slices cooked bacon
1/2 cup arugula or mixed greens

Layer turkey, Swiss cheese, bacon, and arugula on the cranberry-mayo slices. Top with remaining bread slices, buttered side up.

Tips

For extra flavor, add a thin layer of Dijon mustard.
Use leftover turkey for a great post-holiday meal.
Serve with a side of sweet potato fries or a simple salad.
