Even though I had dried cranberries and had to improvise, the sauce really makes this sandwich! I mixed the butter and dijon, then sprinkled with the dried cranberries on the bottom bun (of a braided loaf). I used iceberg lettuce because we love it with turkey sandwiches. So, although a few changes (bread and lettuce), it's a terrific spread and sandwich and we can't wait to add some bacon next time!
