Instructions

Warm up your leftover turkey and stuffing.
While they're heating add your sliced buns, insides up, to a rimmed baking sheet. Spread softened butter evenly between all 4 slices. Then divide the cheese and sprinkle out evenly. Toast in oven, until golden brown & cheese has melted. Remove from oven and set aside.
Add mayo and cranberry sauce to a small mixing bowl- whisk together until evenly combined. If the sauce is too think for your liking, stir in a teaspoon or two of half and half until evenly incorporated. Set aside.
Layer warm turkey slices on the bottoms of your brioche buns, then top with a generous serving of warm stuffing.
Spread cranberry mayo on the bottom of the top bun, then add it to close the sandwiches.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

I prefer my sandwiches without mashed potatoes and gravy, but my kids swear by a layer of mashed potatoes and also a schmear of gravy on the bottom bun.
DO NOT substitute miracle whip for mayo. Also use a quality mayo that you like since it's the base of your sandwich's sauce.
Want to add a little green and crunch? Top the sandwiches with a couple romaine or bibb lettuce leaves.
