Best Turkey Bacon Melt Recipes

~ TRIPLE CHEESE / HAM - TURKEY & BACON MELT ~

Steps:

• 1. First, let me say that I used my cast iron griddle to make this sandwich and weight it down with a cast iron skillet and my cast iron dutch oven. The heavier the better. Just be careful that you keep sandwich in tact when going to flip it as the butter will stick from top bread to whatever you're weighing it down with. This can also be made on a grill or Panini press.
• 2. First, Get your skillet or griddle warming. I coat with oil as well. Butter the 2 slices of bread on one side each.
• 3. On one un buttered side. Start by laying 2 slices of American cheese side by side. Top with folded slices of turkey - evenly across the bread.
• 4. Next, spread out the tomato slices, salt & pepper.
• 5. Add the onion.
• 6. Next the provolone cheese, then folded ham slices.
• 7. Top with Swiss cheese ( I used shredded ) and other slice of bread, buttered side up. ( When I use bacon I place it on top of the Swiss cheese.)
• 8. Carefully place into hot griddle. Weight down with whatever you have heavy, being careful to balance the weight equally, so not to fall off. Continue cooking until golden on the bottom.
• 9. With a wide spatula, carefully flip the sandwich to the other side and weight it as well. Continue for roughly another 5 minutes. When is golden and cheese is melted, remove from pan to a cutting board. Slice in half and serve with your favorite spread.
• 10. It's so oooey gooey good!

Steps:

• Preheat skillet or grill Lightly oil cooking surface if needed Spread cheese over the surface in an area about the size of bread slices Place the bread on the cheese. IMPORTANT: place the bread in a bottom to bottom or top to top or side to side configuration so when complete, one slice of bread may be folded over the other. Pour and spread ranch dressing on both slices of bread with bottom of spoon. Place turkey on grill Place bacon on grill Place tomato slices on grill After 30 - 40 seconds, use spatula to turn turkey, bacon and tomato slices over.

Slide spatula under the empty slice of bread and fold it over on to the other slice of bread. Remove from grill. Cut in half and trim any dangling cheese on the edge of the bread.
