Hot Turkey Sandwiches

Serve these quick-to-make sandwiches for lunch on the Friday after Thanksgiving or any time you have turkey leftovers and crave a hearty sandwich. Cranberry-shallot chutney adds a sweet, tangy flavor. Bottled gravy will work fine in this recipe.

Yield
4 servings (serving size: 1 sandwich)

Ingredients
8 (1-ounce) slices French bread
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
1/4 cup turkey gravy

12 ounces sliced cooked turkey breast
2 slices provolone cheese, halved
1 cup arugula
1 tablespoon cranberry-shallot chutney
