1
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and let them drain on a paper towel.
2
Prepare the Sourdough Bread
Lay out the two slices of sourdough bread on a clean surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise evenly on one side of each slice.
3
Layer the Ingredients
On the non-mayo side of one slice, layer the turkey slices, followed by the cooked bacon, cheddar cheese, and optional lettuce and tomato. Place the second slice of bread on top, mayo side facing in.

4
Panini Grill
Preheat your panini press or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, you may want to add a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking.
5
Grill the Sandwich
Place the sandwich on the grill or in the pan. If using a pan, press down gently with a spatula. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
6
Serve
Once cooked, remove the sandwich from the grill and let it sit for a minute before slicing it in half. Serve warm.
