Make It A Turkey Melt
If you prefer your sandwiches melty and toasty, turn this simple turkey sandwich into a turkey melt! Simply place the turkey in a pan or over a griddle and heat until warmed through. Place the turkey and cheese on the bread and spread a little butter or mayonnaise on the outside of the sandwich. Cook sandwich until golden brown on each side or until cheese has melted (as if making a grilled cheese). Lift the slice of bread that doesn’t have cheese stuck to it and add your toppings.
