You know that tempting sandwich combination from Panera Bread? Well, I’m making it a bit healthier using sprouted grain bread, extra virgin olive oil and clean eating, Simple Cranberry Sauce. This Sprouted Grain Turkey, Cranberry & Brie Panini is a great meal to use up those delicious leftovers from Thanksgiving.
Make sure that you layer your cheese so that it’s next to both pieces of bread. That way the sandwich holds together well and all that cheesy goodness gets nice and melted. 🙂
Sprouted Grain Turkey, Cranberry & Brie Panini #SundaySupper
Ingredients

- 4 tbsp cranberry sauce
- 1 tbsp EVOO
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
- Heat panini maker, or heat a skillet on medium-high heat (if using a panini iron press)
- Spread 1 tsp dijon on each slice of bread
- Top two pieces bread with 4 thin slices brie cheese

What a terrific sandwich! As a huge fan of brie, this looks totally irresistible!
Thank you Liz! I’m a brie lover, too!
What a truly sweet and savory sandwich! Yum!
Love a great grain bread like that but you did me in with the brie, my fav!!
I LOVE the combination of cranberries and brie, so yummy! I’d make myself a panini using just those ingredients and no turkey and be perfectly content 🙂
Thanks Shaina! You could always add some Tofurky. 😉
The Brie just takes this over the top! Now you have me craving it!
Thank you Brianne!
This panini looks great! I’d like one for lunch, please.

Thank you Lisa! Happy Thanksgiving!
Oh Amee! You had me at brie girl!!
Oh yum! I love Panera’s version, but just know this homemade, healthier take on it!
Cranberry and brie may be one of my favorite sandwich combos in the world. I LOVE that picture of the cheese slabs just sitting on there waiting to be melted! Happy happy holidays!
