Turkey Melt

Method

Prep

  1. 1

    Slice the tomato into two thin rounds and set aside.

  2. 2

    If needed, shred the cooked turkey into bite-sized pieces.

Assemble

  1. 3

    Butter one side of each bread slice (about 1 tablespoon per sandwich, total 2 tablespoons). Place bread slices buttered-side-down on a clean surface.

  2. 4

    Evenly distribute 1 cup of turkey on each sandwich.

  3. 5

    Top each with 2 slices Swiss cheese.

  4. 6

    Add a tomato slice on each sandwich (two slices total from the tomato, use one per sandwich).

  5. 7

    Cap with the remaining bread slices, buttered sides facing out.

Cook

  1. 8

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook sandwiches 3-4 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serve

  1. 9

    Let sandwiches rest 1 minute, then cut each in half and serve immediately.
