Spread 1/2 teaspoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.
Spread 1/4 teaspoon of Dijon mustard on the other side of half the slices of bread.
Layer 2 ounces of turkey and 1 slice of sharp cheddar cheese on the mustard side of each of the bread slices.
Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, mayonnaise side facing out.
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder and black pepper, and sprinkle a pinch of the mixture over the outside of each sandwich.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place sandwiches in the skillet (work in batches if needed) and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side or until golden brown.
Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet, flip the sandwiches, and cook the other side for 3-4 minutes until the bread is golden and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove from the skillet and let cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half and serving warm.
