Grilled Turkey Sandwich ( with a twist!)

• Bread ( any kind you like)

Warm pan on medium heat with about a teaspoon and a half of butter. Place one slice of bread into the center of the pan, adding ingredients on top.Then add a second slice of bread on top. After 4-5 minutes, or until the bottom of the bread is slightly browned and cheese is melted, carefully flip to the other side. Cook for another 2 minutes. Cut into halves or quarters, and serve hot. Enjoy!
