Preparation
Begin by spreading softened butter generously on one side of each slice of bread.
On the unbuttered side of half the slices, layer cooked turkey, cranberry sauce, and cheese. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing up.
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
Once both sides are golden and cheese is melted, remove sandwiches, cut in half, and serve warm.
