Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Sliced turkey breast
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 8 slices Sourdough bread
- 1 cup Baby spinach or arugula (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, sriracha, and honey until smooth. Set aside for spreading.
Spread a thin, even layer of the prepared sauce on one side of each bread slice.
On half of the bread slices (sauce side up), place 2 slices of turkey, 1 slice of cheddar cheese, and a small handful of baby spinach or arugula, if using.
Top with the remaining bread slices (sauce side down) to assemble the sandwiches.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
Place two sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until golden brown.
Flip the sandwiches carefully, adding another 1 tablespoon of butter if needed, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is melty.
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining sandwiches.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them rest for 1-2 minutes, and then slice them in half for serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful Blushing Turkey and Cheese Sandwiches!
