Ingredients
- 4 oz Hiland Cream Cheese, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
- 1/2 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Kosher salt to taste
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 1-2 tablespoons Hiland Unsalted Butter
- 6 slices leftover turkey, gently warmed
- 1/4 cup cranberry sauce

Directions
- Make the herbed spread. In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, chives, tarragon, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Toast the bread. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toast each slice of bread until golden brown, flipping halfway through and adding more butter if needed.
- Assemble the sandwiches. Spread a generous layer of herbed cream cheese on two slices of toast. Layer turkey, then cranberry sauce, and finish with a small handful of greens. Top with remaining slices of toast.
- Press gently, slice, and serve immediately.
