Method

Sandwich

  1. 1

    Prepare bread

    Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each sourdough slice. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat until hot but not smoking.

  2. 2

    Toast sourdough

    Place bread slices butter-side-down on the skillet. Toast 1–2 minutes until golden brown and slightly crisp. Remove and place buttered sides down so toasted sides are outer.

  3. 3

    Assemble base with cream cheese

    On one slice of toasted sourdough, spread the 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese evenly, leaving a small border at the edge to prevent slipping.

  4. 4

    Add cranberry

    Spoon 2 tablespoons whole-berry cranberry sauce evenly over the cream cheese. If sauce is very wet, blot slightly with a spoon to prevent sogginess.

  5. 5

    Layer turkey and greens

    Arrange the 4 oz sliced turkey in an even layer over the cranberry. Top turkey with 1 cup baby spinach leaves (or mixed greens). Add optional 2 slices thin red onion if using. Season with the 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper.

  6. 6

    Finish sandwich

    Top with the second slice of toasted sourdough, toasted side out. Press gently to compact. Cut sandwich in half on the diagonal and transfer to a plate alongside the coleslaw.

Huber's Coleslaw (side)

  1. 7

    Prepare vegetables

    Finely shred the green and red cabbage and grate the carrot. Place them in a medium mixing bowl and toss to combine into a uniform mix.

  2. 8

    Make dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp granulated sugar, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and optional 1/4 tsp celery seed until smooth and slightly glossy.

  3. 9

    Combine and chill

    Pour the dressing over the shredded cabbage and carrot. Toss thoroughly to coat all vegetables. Taste and adjust seasoning (add more salt, pepper, or a splash of vinegar if desired). For best flavor, cover and chill at least 20 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

  4. 10

    Plate

    Serve approximately 3/4 to 1 cup coleslaw per sandwich on the side. Stir again briefly before plating.
