Grilled Turkey and Cheese Sandwich Recipe

Instructions for Making Grilled Turkey and Cheese Sandwich

Step 1: Prepare the Bread and Ingredients

1. Butter the Bread: Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. This will help create a crispy, golden crust when grilling.
2. Add Dijon Mustard (Optional): If you’re using Dijon mustard, spread a thin layer on the unbuttered side of one bread slice.

Step 2: Assemble the Sandwich

1. Layer Turkey and Cheese: Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on a cutting board. Layer the turkey slices on top, followed by the cheese slices. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
2. Top with Second Slice of Bread: Place the second slice of bread on top, with the buttered side facing up.

Step 3: Grill the Sandwich

1. Heat a Skillet: Place a skillet or griddle over medium heat and allow it to warm up for a minute or two.
2. Grill the Sandwich: Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
3. Flip Carefully: Use a spatula to flip the sandwich carefully and grill the other side until it’s equally golden and the cheese is fully melted.

Serving Suggestions
