Method
Sandwich
- 1
Prepare bread and spreads
Lay the two bread slices flat. Spread softened butter evenly on one outer side of each slice (these will be the exterior for grilling). On the interior side of one slice, spread the mayonnaise; on the interior side of the other slice, spread the dijon mustard.

Assemble turkey and cheese
Place the sliced roasted turkey evenly over the mayonnaise-spread slice, covering most of the surface. Season the turkey lightly with 1/8 tsp black pepper and 1/4 tsp salt, distributing evenly. Lay the two slices of cheddar cheese on top of the turkey so they overlap slightly.

Add produce
If using, place the lettuce leaf and tomato slices on top of the cheese. If tomatoes are very juicy, blot excess moisture with a paper towel first to avoid soggy bread.

Close sandwich
Place the mustard-spread slice of bread on top, buttered side facing outward, to close the sandwich.
Optional warming / finishing (grilled)

Grill sandwich
Place the sandwich in the skillet, buttered side down. Brush or spoon 1 tsp melted unsalted butter onto the top (outer) slice of bread. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crisp. Carefully flip the sandwich with a spatula and cook another 2–3 minutes, pressing gently, until the second side is golden and the cheese has melted.

Rest and slice
Transfer the sandwich to a cutting board and let rest 1 minute to set. Slice diagonally or in half and serve hot.
