Turkey Grilled Cheese
Description
Turkey Grilled Cheese is a savory toasted sandwich featuring cooked turkey slices and a blend of mozzarella and Brie cheeses complemented by tart cranberry sauce. The recipe involves buttering the outside of two bread slices and layering the inside with mozzarella, turkey, Brie, and cranberry sauce, then sandwiching them together. Cooking in a pan without additional oil crisps the buttered bread to a golden brown while allowing the cheeses to melt inside.
The cheeses provide a creamy richness while the cranberry sauce adds a fruity tartness that balances the savory turkey. The mixture of mozzarella’s mild melting qualities with Brie’s soft texture enriches the filling, creating a comforting yet flavorful result. The outside crispiness contrasts the smooth, melty interior.
This sandwich serves well as a quick lunch, light dinner, or snack and can be paired with fresh salad or soup to round out the meal.
Notes suggest ensuring the buttered sides are facing out for golden crust and offer a technique to improve cheese melting using a splash of water and lid. Gluten-free bread can be used, but it may be less cohesive.
Ingredients
- 2 lice bread
- 20 g butter
- 20 g mozzarella cheese sliced
- 30 g Brie cheese
- 50 g turkey sliced, cooked
- 2 tablespoon cranberry sauce
Instructions
- Spread 20 g Butter over one side of each of the 2 slice Bread.
- Flip on slice of the bread over. Add 20 g Mozzarella, 50 g Cooked turkey, 30 g Brie and 2 tablespoon Cranberry sauce to the unbuttered side.
- Add the second slice of buttered bread, butter side up.
- Heat a frying pan (no oil) and cook the sandwich on for about 2 minutes on each side.
Notes
- Always butter the outside of the bread slices so they brown properly in the pan.
- If your cheese isn't melting well, add a small splash of water to the pan and cover with a lid to create steam and encourage melting.
- To make this sandwich gluten-free, substitute with gluten-free bread, but be aware it may be less sturdy.
