Turkey Sandwiches With Dried Cranberries and Cream Cheese

Submitted by COOKGIRl

"Local recipe. Local [stolen] recipe... Original sandwich is served on sourdough bread although multi-grain is good, too! Use either your own roasted turkey or rotisserie roasted turkey from the grocery store, but NOT packaged deli meat. The cashews are stirred into the cream cheese mixture in the original recipe but I added them separately."

Great spread! I tossed the cashews into the spread and used sourdough bread, as recommended. I had mini-slices of sourdough, so I made little finger sandwiches. I added some spinach and mixed greens to each, and it was great! Thanks for sharing.
