Ingredients:

  • 280 g cooked turkey breast, cubed or shredded
  • 60 g celery, finely diced
  • 75 g Granny Smith apple, small dice
  • 40 g walnuts, toasted and chopped
  • 60 ml mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 15 ml fresh lemon juice
  • 1.5 g salt
  • 0.7 g black pepper
  • 120 g sourdough or thick-cut multigrain bread (4 slices)
  • 110 g Swiss, Provolone, or Brie cheese (4 slices)
  • 30 g unsalted butter, softened

Instructions:

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cubed turkey, diced celery and diced apple. Fold in the toasted walnuts. Stir in the mayonnaise or yogurt, lemon juice, salt and pepper until evenly coated but not swimming in sauce.
  2. Butter one side of each bread slice generously with the softened butter.
  3. Flip the slices so the buttered side is down. Place one slice of Swiss, Provolone, or Brie cheese on the non-buttered side of each of the four bread slices.
  4. Spoon half of the turkey filling over the cheese on each of two of the slices. Top each filling pile with one of the remaining two bread slices, cheese side down and buttered side up, to close the sandwiches.
  5. Heat a cast iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat until hot.
  6. Place the sandwiches in the pan. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing down lightly with a spatula, until the bread is deep golden brown and the cheese is visibly melted.
  7. Cut each sandwich in half and serve while the cheese is molten.
