Monte Cristo Turkey Waffle Sandwich

My monte cristo turkey waffle sandwich is a healthier option then the original version of this sandwich, which is pan or deep fried. My version utilizes the waffle maker to bake that same crisp crust into the bread without all the oil. Transform Thanksgiving leftovers into a delicious lunch for the following day using the turkey and cranberry sauce.

Instructions
 

  • Spray a waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray and preheat on med-high. Have all your ingredients prepared and laid out, because sandwich will be assembled on the waffle iron.
  • In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg and milk.
  • Dip one side of a piece of a slice of bread in the egg/milk mixture and place on pre-heated waffle iron.
  • Start assembling sandwich by spreading some cranberry sauce on the slice of bread that’s on the waffle iron, then add turkey and cheese on top of that.
  • Dip one side of another slice of bread in the egg/milk mixture and place clean side on top of your sandwich, then press down waffle iron and hold.
  • Lid will not close all the way, hold down until most of the steaming stops and sandwich bread in crisp and golden brown.
  • Carefully remove with fork and a spatula and place on a serving plate.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with a dollop of extra cranberry sauce.
