All your favorite all-American Thanksgiving flavors packed into one panini
I feel like most people have so many leftovers after Thanksgiving. That’s why I’m a fan of packing all the favorite Thanksgiving flavors – the turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce – into one grilled sandwich. Add some cheese, and you’re golden!
I love to use pumpernickel for this sandwich – or in general for any grilled sandwich. Pumpernickel is one of my favorite types of bread – I just love the nuttiness and different flavor it has as opposed to just ordinary white or sourdough bread.
You really don’t even need a written recipe to make this sandwich. Just gather your leftovers, stack and pack them between two slices of your favorite bread, and grill!
