Indulge in the ultimate comfort food with these irresistible Oven Loaded Turkey Melts! Perfectly golden sourdough bread encases layers of tender, thinly sliced turkey breast, creamy cheddar and Swiss cheese, and fresh toppings like juicy tomato, buttery avocado, and crisp lettuce.

Baked to perfection in just 15 minutes, these hearty turkey melts are the ideal go-to for a quick weeknight dinner or a crowd-pleasing lunch. Easy to customize and bursting with savory goodness, this recipe achieves the perfect balance of melty, crispy, and fresh in every bite!
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Lay four slices, butter side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until combined. Spread the mixture evenly over the unbuttered side of the bread slices on the baking sheet.
Layer each sandwich with 3 ounces of sliced turkey, 1 slice of cheddar cheese, 1 slice of Swiss cheese, thin slices of tomato, avocado, and red onion. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.
Top each sandwich with a piece of lettuce and place a second slice of bread on top, buttered side up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the oven and allow them to cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing each in half. Serve immediately and enjoy!
