- 4 oz turkey breast slices Can use deli slices or cooked whole turkey breast, thinly sliced.
- 2 slices bacon Crisp for added texture.
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach Fresh spinach recommended for best flavor.

Instructions
Cooking the Bacon
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip the bacon halfway through for even cooking. Remove and set aside on a paper towel to drain.
Assembling the Sandwich
- Layer the turkey, spinach, crispy bacon, and cheddar cheese on one slice of bread evenly.
- Place the second slice of bread on top to create a sandwich.
Grilling the Sandwich
- Spread butter on the outside of both slices of bread.
- Heat the skillet over medium heat and place the sandwich in the skillet, grilling until golden brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and grill the other side until the cheese melts and the second side is golden.
Serving
- Transfer the sandwich to a cutting board, slice, and serve warm.
