Ingredients
- 8 oz Turkey breast (sliced)
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 4 oz Cheddar cheese (sliced or shredded)
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 medium Tomato (sliced)
- 1 cup Spinach leaves (optional)
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined. Set aside.
Step 2
Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will be the side that crisps up on the skillet.
Step 3
On the unbuttered side of two bread slices, spread the mayo-mustard mixture evenly.
Step 4
Layer 4 ounces of sliced turkey on top of each slice with the mayo-mustard spread.
Step 5
Add 2 ounces of cheddar cheese on top of the turkey for each sandwich. Use extra if you like it cheesier.
Step 6
Top the cheese with tomato slices and spinach leaves, if using. Sprinkle lightly with salt and black pepper.
Step 7
Place the remaining slices of bread on top, with the buttered side facing outwards.
Step 8
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 9
Place the sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to encourage even browning.
Step 10
Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Step 11
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half.
Step 12
Serve immediately with your favorite side dish, such as a salad, chips, or soup.
