Photography by Annabelle Breakey
 2 tablespoons olive oil
 10 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
 3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
 5 tablespoons soft blue cheese
 1/3 cup mayonnaise
 4 crusty sandwich rolls, such as ciabatta, sliced in half and toasted
 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (any kind)
 8 slices cooked turkey breast (about 1/4 in. thick)
 4 leaves romaine lettuce
Step 1
1

Heat oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add shallots and salt, stir, reduce heat to medium-low, and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are soft and browned, about 15 minutes (if shallots appear to be browning too quickly, reduce heat to low). Taste shallots and add more salt if necessary.
