Grilled Turkey Sandwich

Move over grilled cheese (but not too far) have I got a sandwich for you!  This Grilled Turkey Sandwich is loaded with the best of your holidays, with a little BLT added into the mix.  Every bite is the essence of what we work so hard for in the kitchen each and every year all combined into one luxurious sandwich not to mention the final touch of dipping it into gravy.  Ok, so this may put you into another food coma, but I promise it will be worth it.

This Grilled Turkey Sandwich will not disappoint, and I loved adding the bacon (because bacon makes everything better) the lettuce for a crisp crunch, and the tomatoes for a soft subtle texture at the top.  And don’t think you butter this bread, oh no.  You slather on the homemade herb mayonnaise that is the icing on the cake.  So don’t get over your holidays to quickly without trying this amazingly delicious, multiple decker, Grilled Turkey Sandwich.
