Description
An incredible sandwich that brings comfort with every bite, featuring turkey, cheese, fresh vegetables, and your choice of condiments.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices bread (whole grain, white, or sourdough)
- 4–6 slices deli turkey (about 2–3 oz / 56–85 g)
- 1 slice cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or provolone; optional 2 slices if you like extra melt)
- 1–2 lettuce leaves (romaine or iceberg)
- 2–3 tomato slices
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (or 1 teaspoon olive oil + mustard)
- 1 teaspoon mustard (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Butter or olive oil for toasting (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and dry the lettuce and tomato. If using avocado, slice and set aside.
- Lightly butter the outside of each bread slice or brush with olive oil. Toast in a skillet over medium heat or use a panini press until golden brown and slightly crisp (about 2–3 minutes per side in a skillet).
- Spread mayonnaise on one slice of bread and mustard on the other (or combine on one side). Adjust amounts to taste.
- Layer turkey slices evenly over one bread slice. Add cheese on top of the turkey. If you prefer the cheese warm, place the open sandwich in the skillet for 30–60 seconds with a lid to help it melt slightly.
- Add tomato slices, lettuce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Top with the other slice of bread, condiment side down.
- Cut diagonally for classic presentation and serve immediately.
Notes
Try to choose low-sodium turkey and lighter condiments to keep the sandwich healthier. Adjust ingredient quantities as needed for taste and dietary preferences.
