Start by preparing the spread: in a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together until smooth. Set aside.
Lightly butter one side of each bread slice using 1 teaspoon of butter per two slices.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, onto the skillet.
Layer one slice of cheddar cheese on each piece of bread in the skillet. Let the cheese slightly melt (about 1-2 minutes).
While the bread is toasting, spread the mayonnaise-mustard mixture generously on the non-buttered side of the remaining bread slices.
Once the bread in the skillet is lightly toasted and the cheese has melted, remove from heat.
To assemble the sandwich, place a slice of lettuce on top of the melted cheese. Layer 2 slices of turkey, 2-3 tomato slices, and a few slices of red onion on each sandwich.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the vegetables for added flavor.
Place the mayonnaise-coated bread slices, spread-side down, on top of the sandwich fillings to close the sandwich.
Return the sandwiches to the skillet (buttered side facing outward) and toast for 1-2 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the skillet, cut in half diagonally, and serve warm. Enjoy your 'Sandwich of the Day by Faiza'!
