Description

This Turkey Melt with Bacon has a creamy dijonnaise sauce and is loaded onto buttery toasted sourdough. A must try lunch recipe that only takes about 15 minutes to whip up. It has so many delicious flavors and is so easy to make! 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • 1/3 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded from the block
  • 4-5 slices of deli turkey
  • 2 slices original bacon, cooked and sliced in half (or leave them whole if you have big enough bread)
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter


Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, stir together the dijon mustard, mayonnaise, salt and pepper until combined.
  2. Spread onto the inside of each slice of bread. Note: I like to really lather mine on.
  3. Layer shredded cheese on top of the sauce, then add turkey slices and bacon. Carefully close it up and press down with your hand on the sandwich to seal it.
  4. Into a medium skillet over medium heat on the stovetop, melt half the butter. Add the sandwich and cover with a lid for about 2-3 minutes. This will help warm up the turkey deli meat and melt the cheese. Add remaining butter, flip and cook for another few minutes until the bread is nice and toasted.
  5. Slice in half, serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Shred the cheese yourself for a better melt. Bagged, pre-shredded cheeses contains preservatives that don't melt well.
  • Cover the sandwich up for a few minutes once you place it on the pan to make sure the turkey warms up and the cheese melts entirely.
