How to Make It
1. Step
Make the cranberry mustard sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the cranberry sauce and mustard.
2. Step
Make the gravy au jus: In a small saucepan, whisk together the gravy and chicken stock over medium heat until gently simmering. Season with black pepper as needed. Remove from the heat and divide between 2 small bowls for dipping.
3. Step
Turn the broiler on high.
4. Step
Place the bottom of each French roll, cut-side up, on a baking sheet. Spread about 2 tablespoons of cranberry mustard sauce on each half, then layer on the sliced turkey. Top with the Swiss cheese. Broil for 30 seconds.
5. Step
Remove the pan from the oven and add the top buns, cut-side up. Broil for another 30 seconds, until the top buns are golden brown and the cheese is melted and lightly bubbling.
6. Step
Place the top buns on top of the melted cheese and transfer to plates with the au jus alongside for dipping. Serve immediately.
