I’ll readily admit it: I’m a “sandwich snob.” My culinary expectations are high, even for something as seemingly simple as a sandwich. I don’t settle for the mundane combination of just mayo, mustard, a basic slice of meat, and plain bread. My inner foodie craves innovation and excitement – that extra layer of flavor, a unique texture, or an unexpected ingredient that provides a delightful “oomph” and transforms a humble sandwich into a memorable meal. If you, like me, find yourself nodding along with this sentiment, then I have the perfect sandwich recipe to introduce you to!
Even if you typically lean towards more traditional sandwich fare, I guarantee this crazy delicious grilled turkey and cheese sandwich will change your mind. It’s designed to impress, offering a harmony of flavors and textures that will make you a believer in gourmet sandwich possibilities. This recipe is all about elevating the everyday, proving that a sandwich can be a truly exciting culinary creation.
My “sandwich snobbery” extends to the quality of the meat I choose. I have a strong aversion to the artificial taste and rubbery texture often found in conventional lunchmeats. Too often, you can practically taste the preservatives, and the unnatural color can be a real turn-off. That’s why I’m thrilled to introduce you to a game-changer in the world of sliced turkey – my new absolute favorite:

Now, let’s refocus on the star of the show: this grilled turkey and cheese masterpiece. Seriously, I can’t express enough how utterly satisfying these sandwiches are. The secret to their irresistible appeal begins with the outer slices of bread. We’re not just buttering them; we’re spreading them with a heavenly blend of garlic and parmesan butter. When cooked on a hot griddle or pan, this special butter creates an incredibly crispy, golden-brown crust that’s bursting with savory flavor. Each bite delivers a delightful crunch that perfectly contrasts with the tender interior.
Inside, the sandwich is generously spread with an incredibly easy-to-make homemade chipotle mayo, which adds a creamy, smoky, and subtly spicy kick. This vibrant mayo beautifully complements layers of smooth, melted Colby Jack cheese, juicy tomato slices, and a fresh scattering of cilantro. And, of course, the star protein is a generous portion of Foster Farms All Natural Sliced Turkey. As the sandwich cooks, the cheese melts into a gooey, savory embrace, and every component harmonizes to create a sensation that truly melts in your mouth. This isn’t an exaggeration; it is, without a doubt, the best turkey sandwich I have ever had!

Southwestern Crispy Grilled Turkey and Cheese Sandwiches with Chipotle Mayo

Rate
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese
- 3 Tbsp. softened butter
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 6-8 slices of bread I used an Italian round loaf for best results
- thin slices Colby Jack cheese
- 6 ounces of Foster Farms All Natural Sliced Turkey lunchmeat I recommend the oven roasted flavor for rich taste
- fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 tomato thinly sliced
- 4 Tbsp. light mayonnaise
- 3/4 – 1 tsp. diced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, combine the finely grated Parmesan cheese, softened butter, and minced garlic. Mix well until thoroughly combined and set this flavorful butter aside.
-
In another small bowl, prepare your homemade chipotle mayo by combining the light mayonnaise with the diced chipotle peppers. Stir until smooth and set aside.
-
To assemble the sandwiches: take three slices of your chosen bread. On one side of each slice, generously spread the prepared chipotle mayo. On one of these mayo-spread slices, layer a slice of Colby Jack cheese, a few slices of Foster Farms All Natural Sliced Turkey, a couple of thin tomato slices, and a light sprinkling of fresh chopped cilantro. Top with another slice of Colby Jack cheese, then place the second mayo-spread bread slice on top (mayo-side down on the cheese). Repeat this layering for your remaining sandwiches.
-
Now, spread the reserved garlic and Parmesan butter mixture evenly on the outside surfaces of each assembled sandwich. Cook these buttered sandwiches on a preheated griddle or hot pan over medium heat for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, or until both sides are a beautiful golden brown and the cheese inside is wonderfully melted and gooey.
-
Once perfectly toasted, remove the sandwiches from the heat. Carefully slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately. These gourmet grilled turkey and cheese sandwiches are delicious on their own or paired with your favorite bowl of soup or a fresh salad. Enjoy every flavorful bite!
