# Preparation Steps:

Arrange half a slice of cheddar cheese on each bread slice. Top two slices with two slices of deli turkey each.
03 -
Place the thinly sliced tomato and ¼ cup fresh spinach leaves over the turkey-covered bread slices.
04 -
Lay two strips of cooked bacon on the remaining cheese-covered bread slices, then close the sandwiches by placing bacon-topped slices onto the tomato and spinach-covered slices.
05 -
Spread ½ tablespoon softened unsalted butter on the outer side of each sandwich slice to prepare for grilling.

Remove sandwiches from the skillet and serve immediately with preferred accompaniments.

Use freshly sliced cheddar for optimal melt and flavor. Adjust skillet heat to prevent bread from burning before cheese melts. Leftover holiday turkey can be used, increasing grill time for thicker slices.
