2 slices Bread Sourdough, ciabatta, or whole-grain work best for a hearty, flavorful sandwich.
4-6 slices Sliced turkey Deli-style turkey or leftover roasted turkey adds richness and depth.
2-3 slices Cheese (or 1/4 cup shredded) Choose a melty cheese like Swiss, cheddar, provolone, or mozzarella.
1-2 tbsp Butter/Olive oil For grilling the bread to a perfect golden brown.
1-2 tbsp Condiments Mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, or cranberry sauce to add extra flavor.

As desired Lettuce, tomatoes, onions, avocado slices, or crispy bacon for added texture and flavor.

Start by spreading a thin layer of butter or olive oil on one side of each bread slice. This helps create that beautiful golden-brown crust when grilled. Use a good-quality butter or olive oil for the best flavor.

Place a slice of cheese on the unbuttered side of one bread slice. Next, layer on the sliced turkey evenly, ensuring each bite will have a satisfying amount of meat.
If you’re using any optional toppings like lettuce, tomato, or crispy bacon, now’s the time to add them! These ingredients add freshness and extra crunch that can take the flavor up a notch.
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out. Press gently to compact the sandwich slightly, helping everything hold together.

Heat a non-stick skillet or a griddle over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place your sandwich in the pan.
Grill for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted beautifully. If you prefer an extra crispy finish, you can press down gently with a spatula. For a panini-style sandwich, use a panini press to get those perfect grill marks!
Keep an eye on the heat, making sure it’s not too high, so the bread doesn’t burn before the cheese melts.

Once the sandwich is perfectly grilled, remove it from the pan and let it sit for about a minute. This helps the cheese set and keeps it from spilling out when you cut it.
Slice the sandwich into halves or quarters—however you like—and enjoy while it's still hot and melty!
