Why You’ll Love This Sandwich
- Melty Swiss cheese
- Crispy, buttery bread
- Tender sliced turkey
- Ready in 10 minutes or less
Ingredients:
- 2 slices of bread (your choice — white, whole wheat, sourdough, etc.)
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 2 slices Swiss cheese
- 3–4 slices deli turkey breast
- Butter (softened, for grilling)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prep the Bread
Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. This adds creaminess and flavor inside the sandwich.
Step 2: Build the Sandwich
Layer one slice of Swiss cheese on the un-mayoed side of one bread slice. Add the turkey, then top with the second slice of Swiss. Place the second slice of bread on top, mayo side in.
Step 3: Grill It Up
Butter the outside of the sandwich (both top and bottom).
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing down lightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 4: Slice & Serve
Remove from the skillet, let it rest a minute, then slice in half and enjoy warm!
Tips & Add-Ons
- Add tomato slices or a bit of Dijon mustard for extra flavor

This grilled turkey and Swiss sandwich is everything you want in a grilled cheese — only better. Perfectly crisped on the outside and rich, savory, and cheesy on the inside.
