Swiss cheese! The flavor is perfect when melted and would complement turkey and cranberries very well. How do I get stuffing into this cranberry turkey sandwich?

Herb mayonnaise was the answer. When I was at the store I saw an herb mayonnaise and realized that would be good for the stuffing portion of the thanksgiving essentials of this turkey melt.
