This is really good. I changed it by using sourdough bread and smoked gouda cheese instead of cheddar. I also added a little baby spinach. I love the cranberry onion mix with the turkey!

Wow! Great use of leftover turkey. I loved the flavors of the cranberries and red onions. I didn't have the focaccia bread so added a touch of rosemary in step 1. I did think that the "sharp" cheese was a bit overpowering so next time I plan to use mild so more of the other flavors can come through. I cooked mine on the George Foreman grill for 6 minutes. Thanks for posting. :)

This is SO GOOD!!! Used grilled chicken breast and 1/2 yellow onion (will try with red next time as I am sure it will be even better!!!). Grilled on my George Foreman grill. Thanks MarraMamba!!! :) Made for Zaar Tag.
