Gourmet Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipes

Part IV: Grilled Cheese & Turkey Recipes

Next to ham and cheese, turkey and cheese is the most popular meat combination. Can you make grilled cheese sandwiches with other meats? Absolutely! Think of roast beef and horseradish Cheddar, lamb with goat cheese, chicken with jalapeño or habañero-flavored cheese or roast pork loin with cranberry Cheddar. Mix and match until you find your favorites. Read our article on flavored cheese for more ideas.

Dried cherries give fun and dimension to a turkey and Fontina sandwich.

1. To prepare chutney, heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

3. Deglaze pan with vinegar. Add cherries, salt, tarragon, honey and water, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool.

4. To prepare the sandwiches, butter one side of each slice of bread. Place four slices of bread, buttered side down, in a large, non-stick pan or griddle on medium heat.

5. Top each with Fontina cheese, turkey, sliced apple and 1 tablespoon of chutney.

6. Top with remaining four slices of bread, buttered side out.

7. Grill each side until golden brown and cheese is melted.

Hot Turkey Dijon Sandwiches

Dijon mustard and fresh tarragon spark up this recipe. Whole wheat bread provides two of your three daily servings of whole grains. If you have access to fancier breads, use multigrain varieties for more texture and flavor. (Not all multigrain breads are made from whole grains. Read more about whole grains.)

Preparation

1. In a small bowl, mix mustard, mayonnaise and tarragon.
2. Spread on bread slices, dividing equally.
3. For each sandwich, top one of the bread slices with half the cheese and turkey.
4. Cover with another bread slice. Melt butter in large non-stick skillet.
5. Add sandwiches. Cook over medium heat until bread is toasted and cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
6. Serve hot.
