The batter will be a little lumpy.

Pour batter into the heated waffle iron until it just covers the outside edges (always better to err on the side of too little batter rather than too muchotherwise youll have a huge mess on your counter).

I got 6 waffles out of this batter, which will make 12 sandwiches.

If you dont want that many sandwiches, you can wrap the extra waffles in plastic wrap, place in a freezer safe bag, and save them for breakfast another day.

14
For the sandwiches: Preheat the oven to 300 F.

15
Break each of the waffles into fourths.

Smear cream cheese all over one side of the waffles, then spread cranberry sauce on top of that.
-
17
Place slices of turkey on the cranberry sauce followed by the arugula.

Top with another quarter of a waffle, then place the sandwich back on the baking sheet.

Repeat with remaining sandwiches.

Place the sandwiches in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until warmed through.
