Below is my one of my favorite grilled sandwich combinations--turkey, Gruyere cheese, apple slices, sautéed onions, and Dijon mustard. Feel free to use whatever cheese and toppings you like though! Another favorite is pesto + Parmesan + turkey.
Grilled Turkey Sandwich
Makes 1 sandwich
2 tablespoons of butter
1/2 onion, chopped
2 slices of bread of choice (I like whole wheat, but choose whatever you like)
Dijon mustard
2 slices of deli turkey
Thinly cut slices of Gruyere cheese
1 Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Gala apple, cut into slices no more than 1/2 inch thick (As you can tell from the pictures, I cut my apple slices a little too thick!)

| Sometimes, you got to be a little bit creative. |
- Heat a medium-sized fry pan over medium heat on the stove. Add 1 tablespoon of butter. When butter melts, add in chopped onions.
- Stir onions every once in a while until they turn brown (about 10-15 minutes). Remove onions from the pan.
- Swipe one side of each slice of bread with mustard. Then build your sandwich, adding the turkey, caramelized onions, apples, and then cheese to your sandwich.
- Place fry pan on the stove, and begin heating the pan on medium heat.
- Coat one of the outer sides of bread with butter. Place the sandwich buttered-side down on the pan.
- Now, you need to apply pressure to the sandwich in order to get a golden brown and crispy exterior. I often place a plate on top of my sandwich to add pressure, as seen in the picture.
- When the bottom of the sandwich is brown and crispy (about 5 minutes), add butter to the top piece of bread, then flip the sandwich.
- Continue cooking until the other side of the sandwich is golden and crispy (about 5 minutes).
Enjoy!
