Make
- Prepare melts by spreading butter on one side of each piece of bread. Lay out half of the bread slices, buttered-side down. Top with brie (if the brie is too firm to spread with a knife, cut it into slices), then with turkey and cranberry sauce. Finish with remaining slices of bread, buttered-side up.
- Heat up a griddle or a skillet over medium heat. Place sandwiches onto heated surface (as many as can fit) and press down throughout the grilling process with a spatula. Cook sandwiches on both sides until golden brown and cheese is melted, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
- While sandwiches are cooking, heat a saute pan with lid or a wok over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then add green beans to heated oil. Saute for 2 minutes to get them started cooking. Add water and cover.. Steam green beans, covered, until nearly tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove cover and saute until water has cooked off and green beans are very tender, 1 to 2 minutes more.
- When green beans are done cooking, toss well with olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, and lemon zest. Season with some salt and pepper.
- Serve sandwiches with green beans on the side. Enjoy!
