How to Make Turkey Cranwiches

Lay out 4 slices of bread. On each slice, layer 1 slice of cheese, 1 tablespoon of cranberry sauce, and 1 slice of turkey.
Top each with a remaining slice of bread.
Spread half of the softened butter evenly over the top of each sandwich.
In a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, place the sandwiches butter-side down.
Spread the remaining butter evenly over the top of each sandwich.
Cook for 5 minutes, or until golden brown and the bottom is crispy.
Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the other side is golden brown.
