Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 4 slices smoked turkey breast
- 1 avocado
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a small bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork and mix in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Set aside.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of all four slices of sourdough bread. This will help achieve a golden crust when grilled.
Flip the bread slices over so the non-mayonnaise side is facing up. Spread an even layer of the mashed avocado on two of the slices of bread.
Place two slices of smoked turkey breast on top of the avocado spread on each slice of bread.
Lay two slices of cheddar cheese on top of the turkey for each sandwich.
Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, mayonnaise side facing outward.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, spreading it around the pan.
Carefully place the sandwiches into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter when flipping the sandwiches to ensure both sides are evenly toasted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing them in half.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Cheese with Smoked Turkey and Avocado!
