In a small bowl, mix the honey and Dijon mustard until well combined.
Spread the honey Dijon mixture evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
On two slices of the bread (spread side up), layer one slice of Swiss cheese, half of the turkey slices, a handful of spinach (if using), and another slice of Swiss cheese.
Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, spread side down, to form two sandwiches.
Butter the outsides of the sandwiches generously, using 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter per sandwich (half on each side).
Preheat a panini press to medium heat or heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches in the panini press and cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. If using a skillet, press down gently with a spatula or place another pan on top, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
Remove the panini from the heat, slice each sandwich in half, and serve immediately while hot.
