Ingredients:
- 4 slices of sourdough or your favorite sandwich bread
- 4 slices of roasted turkey breast (thinly sliced)
- 4 slices of sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp JD's Spicy Fig Relish
- 2 tbsp butter (softened)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional, for extra tang)
#### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Sandwich:**
- Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each bread slice.
- Flip the slices over, and on the unbuttered side, spread Dijon mustard if using.
- Place a slice of cheddar cheese on two of the bread slices.
- Add the turkey slices on top of the cheese.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of JD's Spicy Fig Relish over the turkey on each sandwich.
- Top with another slice of cheddar cheese and cover with the remaining bread slices, buttered side out.
2. **Cook the Grilled Cheese:**
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.
- If the bread is browning too quickly, lower the heat to ensure the cheese has time to melt without burning the bread.
3. **Serve:**
- Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for a minute before slicing in half.
- Serve hot with your favorite side, like a fresh salad, chips, or a warm bowl of soup.
Enjoy your elevated turkey grilled cheese, packed with gooey cheddar and the deliciously sweet and spicy flavors of JD's Spicy Fig Relish!
