Turkey & Apple Grilled Cheese
Turkey & Apple Grilled Cheese combines smoked turkey, crisp green apple, and garlicky cheese on buttery sourdough. It’s crispy, melty, and full of flavor—a delicious twist on the classic grilled cheese!
Ingredients
- 8 slices sourdough bread
- ¼ cup butter
- ¾ pound sliced smoked turkey deli-style
- ½ pound garlic Manchego cheese sliced
- 1/2 cup mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese; shredded
- 1 green apple thinly sliced
- ¼ cup apple chutney or jelly
Instructions
- Spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. The butter will help create that crispy, golden crust we all love.
- Assemble the sandwiches by placing the buttered side of the bread down on a clean surface. Layer slices of smoked turkey, garlic manchego, shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack, and thinly sliced green apple on four slices of bread. Spread a small amount of apple chutney or jelly on the inside of the remaining slices.
- Close the sandwiches by placing the chutney-spread slices of bread on top of the turkey and cheese layers, with the buttered sides facing out.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. You don’t want the heat too high, as the bread can burn before the cheese melts.
- Grill the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted. If your cheese isn’t melting fast enough, you can cover the skillet with a lid to help trap in the heat.
- Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice them in half, and enjoy!
Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- Butter the bread instead of adding oil to the pan for the crispiest, most flavorful crust.
- Lower the heat and cover the skillet with a lid if your cheese isn’t melting quickly enough.
- I always add some neutral-flavored, easy-melting cheese like mozzarella or Monterey Jack. Because what’s a grilled cheese without lots of ooey gooey cheese?
- Use a mandoline to slice the apple thinly, so it doesn't overpower the sandwich.
