2. Lightly spray one side of each slice of whole grain bread with olive oil cooking spray.
3. Place one slice of bread, sprayed side down, on a clean surface.
4. Evenly layer the low-fat white cheese, optional turkey sausage slices, tomato slices, and green pepper strips on the bread.

6. Top with the second slice of bread, sprayed side up, to form a sandwich.

8. If using a skillet, press the sandwich down with a spatula or a heavy object (like a small pan) to ensure even toasting.
9. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side in the skillet (or 6-8 minutes total in the sandwich press), until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
10. Remove the toast from the heat and let it sit for 1 minute before slicing in half.
11. Serve warm and enjoy your low-fat Turkish Tost!
