The star of this melt is the savory apple butter, which adds a burst of sweetness and tanginess to complement the succulent turkey. Melted Brie cheese adds a rich creaminess, while fresh arugula contributes a peppery freshness that balances the flavors perfectly.

Ingredients

🍽️ Servings: 2 • 🔥 Calories/Serving: —

4 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, whole wheat, or multigrain)
1/4 cup apple butter
8 ounces sliced cooked turkey (roast turkey or deli turkey)
4 ounces Brie cheese, sliced
1 cup fresh arugula
1 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps

Step 1

Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous amount of apple butter on one side of each slice of bread. Layer an ounce of brie cheese, the sliced cooked turkey, and another ounce of brie cheese. Evenly distribute the fresh arugula over the Brie cheese. Place the top piece of bread on the sandwich to complete assembly.

Step 2

Grill the Sandwich: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the butter to the skillet or griddle. Place the assembled sandwiches on the skillet or griddle and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the bread turns golden and crispy, and the Brie cheese melts. Remove the sandwiches from the heat and let them cool slightly. (note: this is also a great contender for a panini press)
