I went to Duluth, Minnesota with my family a few weeks ago and was really looking forward to having this specific sandwich called a Lakewalk Special from a small cafe while we were there.
I got in line at the sandwich counter with 3 people in front of me. The first couple placed their order and it was the same sandwich I wanted. Then, the person in front of me ordered the same sandwich too, and before he completed his order, all three of them were told that the cafe was completely out of turkey. So, needless to say, I didn’t get my turkey sandwich. I was disappointed but I decided to make it at home instead!
Cranberry Mayo
Start by making the cranberry mayo. Put mayonnaise and cranberry sauce in a bowl.
Whisk the mayo and cranberry sauce together until combined.
How To Make A Turkey Cranberry Sandwich
Now you are ready to make the sandwich, pile some peppered turkey breast on slices of fresh bread. I used a multi-grain bread from the bakery. You can also make this sandwich using leftover Thanksgiving turkey!
Next, add Swiss cheese (or any of your favorite cheeses), tomato and cucumber slices.
Spread the cranberry mayo on another slice of bread and then put it on the sandwich.
Don’t forget to serve the sandwich with sliced pickles on the side. These crave-worthy turkey cranberry sandwiches are so easy to make for a quick lunch or to serve at a party!
