Instructions

Step 1: Spread 2 tbsp softened unsalted butter evenly on one side of each of 4 whole wheat sandwich bread slices. Heat a skillet over medium heat.
Step 2: On the non-buttered side of 2 bread slices, spread 1 tbsp mayonnaise and 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard each. Layer 3 oz sliced turkey breast, 1 slice Swiss cheese, 2 slices of 1/4-inch tomato rounds, and 2 leaves of red leaf lettuce on each.
Step 3: Season tomato slices lightly with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Top with the remaining bread slices, butter side out.
Step 4: Place sandwiches in the heated skillet and grill for 3-4 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even grilling.
Step 5: Remove sandwiches from skillet, let rest for 1 minute, slice in half, and serve warm.
