• 12 ounces thinly sliced cooked turkey breast
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2/3 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce or relish
• 3 large eggs

Cooking method:

1. Mix the mustard and mayonnaise in a small bowl. 
2. Lay the bread on a work surface and spread about 1 tablespoon of the mustard mixture on one side of each piece.
3. Lay the cheese on half of the bread slices, top with the turkey, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Spread the cranberry sauce on the remaining slices of bread and close the sandwiches, pressing each one together tightly.
5. In a shallow dish, whisk the eggs with the milk and salt and pepper to taste.
6. Heat 2 large skillets over medium low heat and divide the butter between the two skillets.
7. Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture to coat completely, including the sides.
