Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounces Roasted turkey breast or sliced deli turkey
  • 1-2 tablespoon Cranberry relish
  • 1 slice Mozzarella cheese deli sliced
  • 5 pieces Sage leaves
  • 2 tablespoon Pecans
  • 2 slices Sourdough bread sliced, or bread of choice
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Mayo
  • 1 teaspoon Olive oil for grilling
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a nonstick pan, heat butter over medium heat until bubbling. Add sage and fry until crispy, about 1-2 minutes. Remove the sage leaves and drain on a clean paper towel, keeping the butter in the pan.
  • Add pecans to the butter and toast, stirring often, until lightly toasted, about 3–4 minutes. Be careful not to burn. Drain the pecans on a paper towel. Using a paper towel, wipe the remaining butter from the pan and drop the heat to medium-low.
  • Lightly drizzle 2 slices of bread with olive oil and flip over. Spread a light layer of mayo on each side of the bread if desired. Then, layer one slice with turkey, cranberry relish, mozzarella, crispy sage leaves, and pecans. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, if desired. Top with the other slice of bread, mayo side down.
  • Grill the sandwich in the pan until golden, crispy, and warmed through, about 2–3 minutes per side. Cover with a lid while grilling to warm the turkey and melt the cheese. Cut in half and serve immediately.
