Hot Turkey & Cheese Sandwich
Watch me make these hot turkey and cheese sandwiches from start to finish!
I went over my cousin’s house for a blogger’s meetings, and she served up these hearty, hot turkey and cheese sandwiches. She’d just gotten off of work and whipped these bad boys up in a flash. I LOVED them! It’s my uncle BB’s recipe, and I was so shocked when she told me it was really just turkey lunch meat, bacon, and cheese! No way!
I could have sworn I was eating some kind of shredded chicken spread. I sat eye’ing a second helping for the longest, but I didn’t want to be the greedy girl in the group.
The next day I called her for the recipe and made them for dinner that night. I adapted the recipe slightly and loved them even more. I’m convinced you really can’t go wrong with this recipe for a quick meal. It’s so simple. Almost too simple for such a great taste. My hubby really liked them, and it was his idea to do a video.
Serve on your favorite toasted bread. I like it on buttered and toasted french bread, and hubby loved it best on toasted croissants. I think I’ll try it on flatbread next because I’ve already made these hot turkey and cheese sandwiches three times in the last few weeks and I’m pretty sure I’ll be making them again soon.
The Perfect Lunch: Hot Turkey and Cheese Sandwiches, Original Pringles, red grapes, a dill pickle, and ice-cold water. Seriously, so good!!

Notes
Change it up! Try roast beef and cheese!
Add smoked cheeses and smoked bacon for a new flavor!
Try a 5 meat and 5 cheese combo.
Use freshly sliced deli turkey lunchmeat if possible! So good!
