🥣Ingredient Notes

- Turkey breast - If you don't have leftover turkey, turkey slices from the grocery store can be used.
- Stuffing - You can use leftover stuffing or make some from a box mix.
- Cranberries - You can make your own cranberry sauce or use store-bought refrigerated cranberry sauce.
📋Step by Step Instructions
STEP 1: Make cranberry sauce for sandwiches. Heat orange juice and granulated and brown sugar in a saucepan until the mixture simmers.
