Ingredients
  • 4 slices whole grain bread (I use Brownberry Oatnut)
  • Cranberry Spinach 'Wow' Dip (see recipe below)
  • 2 slices swiss cheese
  • 6 thin slices pastrami
  • 6 thin slices turkey breast
  • ½ cup roasted peppers
  • 1 tablespoon butter, olive oil or coconut oil
Instructions
  1. Spread one side of each slice of bread with Cranberry Spinach 'Wow' Dip. Onto each of 2 pieces of bread, place 1 slice of cheese, followed by 3 slices of pastrami, 3 slices of turkey, and ¼ cup roasted peppers. Top with the remaining slices of bread. In a medium hot skillet or griddle, melt ½ tablespoon butter or oil over medium heat. Add one sandwich and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-4 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining sandwich.
Notes
Cranberry Spinach 'Wow' Dip (inspired by Susan Stamberg's Mother-in-law's Cranberry Relish )

3 cups tightly packed fresh spinach
2 tablespoons water
¾ cup fresh cranberries, washed
1 shallot, coarsely chopped
1 cup light sour cream
1 cup light mayonnaise
1½ teaspoons prepared horseradish
2 tablespoons sugar
pinch salt

Place 3 cups spinach and 2 tablespoons water in a medium saucepan over high heat. Wilt the spinach by pressing and stirring it into the water as it cooks, about a minute or 2. Squeeze the spinach tightly in a paper towel and place in a food processor. Add cranberries and shallot. Pulse a few times until all ingredients are chopped. Add sour cream, mayonnaise, horseradish, sugar and salt. Pulse a few more times to combine all ingredients. Refrigerate for a couple of hours to allow the flavors to greet one another.
