Turkey with Cheddar, Apples, Pears, Onions, and Cranberry

Created by Kchurchill5 on August 26, 2012

12 slices of honey baked deli sliced turkey
8 slices of pumpernickel bread, sliced (not too thin; I prefer to slice my own ... or just ask the bakery guy to slice it thick - they will be glad to do so)
1 medium onion, cut in quarters and thin sliced
1 pear (Bosc, or a firm pear), diced
1 apple (fuji or a firm apple), diced

Step 1: Onions and Fruit ... In a small non-stick pan, add the butter (1/2 teaspoon) and bring to medium heat. Add the onions, apples and pears and saute until tender. Season lightly with salt and pepper. You want them tender, but still crisp.
Step 2: Sandwich ... Add a light 'slather' of the cranberry sauce (not jelly) to the bread and top with the turkey, some of the sauteed onions, apples and pears, and a slice of the cheddar cheese; and, a little cranberry slather on the top slice of bread.
Step 3: Grill ... Spread a little butter on the top and place on the griddle/grill pan buttered slice down. Then, spread the top slice with a little butter and press down. I like to cover my sandwich as it cooks with the lid of a pot. It just heats up, melts and cooks a bit quicker. And, make sure the heat is on medium - too high of heat and the sandwich will brown too quickly before it warms up and the cheese melts.
Step 4: Serve ... Just ENJOY! Some chips, pickle or sweet potato salad would be fantastic.
