Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Sliced turkey breast
- 8 slices Bacon
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 8 slices Whole-grain bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Cook the bacon slices in the skillet until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Thinly slice the tomato and set it aside.
Lightly butter one side of each bread slice. You will use this side for toasting.
Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Place four slices of bread, buttered side down, onto the skillet.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the unbuttered side of each slice of bread on the skillet.
Layer 2 slices of turkey breast, 2 slices of bacon, 1 slice of cheddar cheese, and 1 lettuce leaf onto each piece of bread in the skillet.
Top each sandwich with a slice of tomato and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Close the sandwiches with the remaining four slices of bread, buttered side facing up.
Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side, using a spatula to gently press them down, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice them in half, and serve warm.
