Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 6 ounces Cooked turkey breast (thinly sliced)
- 1 small Green apple (Granny Smith works well)
- 4 slices Sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 large Lettuce leaves
- 1 tablespoon Butter (softened)
Instructions
1. Start by preparing the apple: wash, core, and thinly slice the green apple into even slices. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to create a tangy spread.
3. Lay out the sourdough bread slices. Spread an even layer of the mayonnaise-mustard mixture on one side of each slice.
4. Layer the ingredients on two of the bread slices: start with the lettuce leaves, followed by the turkey slices, apple slices, and cheddar cheese. Ensure even distribution for a balanced bite.
5. Top with the remaining bread slices, spread-side down, to complete the sandwiches.
6. Lightly butter the outer sides of the sandwiches to create a crunchy, golden crust when cooked.
7. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted slightly.
8. Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly before cutting them in half.
9. Wrap the sandwiches in parchment paper or foil if packing for a picnic. Serve and enjoy!
