If you’re looking for a different spin on the regular ol’ boring turkey sandwich make from Thanksgiving leftovers, consider making a Turkey Gorgonzola Grilled Cheese Sandwich with arugula! 
I should’ve taken a photo of the sandwich pre-grilling, but it is loaded with gorgonzola cheese and piled high with arugula leaves. It is definitely different than the usual Thanksgiving leftovers.

Turkey Gorgonzola Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 2-3 slices of turkey
- 3-4 Tbsp gorgonzola cheese
- Handful of arugula
Instructions
- Start by buttering your bread, lay one side butter-side down in a skillet.
- Add 2 Tbsp of gorgonzola to the bread in the skillet.
- Top it with 2-3 slices of turkey.
- Add a big handful of arugula, more than you might think.
- Top the arugula with additional gorgonzola (so the bread sticks to the sandwich).
- And finish with the other slice of bread, butter side up.
- Grill each side until nicely browned.
- Garish with a toothpick of cranberries.
And if you’re making sandwiches to serve a crowd, stick some toothpicks through some cranberries to add a bit of color as the garnish.
