Turkey Grilled Cheese Sandwich With Pickled Onions Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Start by pickling the onions. Thinly slice a red onion and place it in a bowl. In a separate small saucepan, combine equal parts water and vinegar, along with sugar and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then pour it over the sliced onions. Let the onions sit in the pickling liquid for at least 30 minutes.
• STEP 2.Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place one slice of bread, butter side down, on the skillet.
• STEP 3.Layer sliced turkey and pickled onions on top of the bread slice. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the turkey and onions. Place the second slice of bread on top, butter side up.
• STEP 4.Cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Press down on the sandwich with a spatula to help the cheese melt evenly.
• STEP 5.Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing it in half. Serve hot and enjoy!

Cooking Tips

• You can use any type of cheese you prefer for this sandwich. Cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella all work well.
• If you don't have time to pickle the onions, you can use raw sliced onions instead.
• To add some extra flavor, you can spread a thin layer of mustard or mayonnaise on the bread before assembling the sandwich.

Storage and Serving

• This sandwich is best enjoyed immediately while the bread is still crispy and the cheese is gooey.
• If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat the sandwich, place it in a toaster oven or preheated skillet until warmed through.
