Scale
For the Sandwiches
- 8 slices of sturdy sandwich bread (such as sourdough, whole wheat, or white)
- 16 oz (about 450 g) cooked turkey breast, sliced
- 8 slices provolone or Swiss cheese
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon or yellow mustard (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
For Serving (optional)
- Pickles
- Potato chips
- Salad greens
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Arrange your bread slices on a clean workspace. If desired, spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice and mustard on the other.
- Layer the Sandwiches: Place a slice of cheese on half of the bread slices. Top each with sliced turkey, and add another slice of cheese. Close with the remaining bread, spread side down.
- Butter the Bread: Spread softened butter on the outside (top and bottom) of each sandwich. This ensures a crispy, golden crust when grilled.
- Grill the Sandwiches: Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place sandwiches in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing down gently, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. If needed, grill in batches.
- Serve Hot: Remove sandwiches from heat. Slice in half and serve immediately with pickles, chips, or salad greens on the side, if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken or ham for turkey if desired.
- Try different cheeses like cheddar, gouda, or mozzarella for variety.
- For extra flavor, add tomato slices or a little cooked bacon.
- Sandwiches can be assembled ahead of time and grilled just before serving.
- Leftover sandwiches can be reheated in a pan or toaster oven for crispiness.
