Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cheddar and Bacon Turkey Melt
- Start by laying out two slices of sourdough bread on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice.
- On one of the slices, add a layer of Dijon mustard atop the mayonnaise.
- Next, place a layer of sharp cheddar cheese directly on top of the mustard.
- Now it’s time to introduce the crispy cooked bacon. Layer it evenly over the cheddar cheese.
- Next, lay the turkey breast slices evenly on top of the bacon.
- Take the second slice of sourdough and place it on top of the turkey, ensuring the mayo side faces down.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. As the butter melts, swirl it around the pan.
- Carefully place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes.
- Using a spatula, gently flip the sandwich over, pressing down slightly to help it brown evenly.
- Once both sides are beautifully golden, carefully remove it from the skillet and let it cool for just a minute.
- Slice it in half to reveal the melty, savory layers inside. Serve warm.

Notes
Using freshly cooked turkey and crispy bacon enhances flavor. Mayonnaise adds moisture and aids in browning. Pressing down while cooking ensures even browning and melding of flavors.
