Ingredients
– 2 slices of bread (your choice: sourdough, whole wheat, or rye)
– 4 oz cooked turkey breast, sliced
– 2 slices of cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or your favorite)
– 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
– 1 tablespoon butter
– Fresh spinach leaves or lettuce (optional)
– Tomato slices (optional)
Instructions
Creating a Turkey Melt is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prep the Bread: Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. If using, spread Dijon mustard on the other side.
2. Assemble the Sandwich: Lay one slice of bread mayo-side down on a clean surface. Layer on the turkey, cheese, and any additional toppings like spinach or tomato. Top with the second slice of bread, mayo-side up.
3. Heat the Pan: In a skillet, melt half of the butter over medium heat.
4. Cook the Sandwich: Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Press down gently with a spatula for even browning.
5. Flip: Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side, adding the remaining butter to the skillet if needed. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and both sides are golden brown.
6. Check for Doneness: The sandwich is ready when the cheese is melted and the bread is nicely toasted.
7. Slice and Serve: Remove from the pan and let it cool for a minute. Slice the sandwich in half and enjoy!
