Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp mayonnaise with 2 tbsp finely chopped dill pickle and 1 tsp Dijon mustard. Mix well to create dill pickle aioli.
Step 2: Spread a generous 2 tbsp of the dill pickle aioli evenly over one side of each of the 2 thick sourdough bread slices.
Step 3: Layer 4 oz smoked turkey slices over one bread slice, then add 2 leaves of lettuce and 2 slices of tomato. Season tomato with 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 4: Top with the second bread slice, aioli side down. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tbsp butter.
Step 5: Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and crisp, pressing gently with a spatula. Remove and let rest for 1 minute before slicing.
