Yummy! We really enjoyed the tart/ sweet cranberry spread on this sandwich. There is just something about the combination of cranberries and turkey. They compliment each other so well. I did add some extra honey and Dijon mustard to the cranberry spread, just a personal preference. I served this on recipe #475856 #475856 and it was delicious. Thank you for sharing. **Made for 2013 Football Pool**

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!
