Turkey and Provolone Sandwich
I know this is not a Kerala recipe, but the taste palate of Keralites have progressed to  sandwiches, burgers and fries along the years.I promise you this is a sandwich like none other. Like the name suggests it's turkey and provolone,but I use Italian bread and top it with leafy greens and plump tomatoes and finish it off with a kick of gourmet mayo and Dijon mustard.The sandwich is toasted on a cast iron griddles which makes all the difference. This is a great brunch item that you just have to try!


Prep Time-5 minutes Actual Cook Time-5 minutes


Ingredients
Turkey breast sliced-2-3 slices (I used BBQ rubbed turkey)
Provolone cheese- 1 slice
Italian bread -2 slices (I used a fresh loaf from the deli and always use a serrated knife to cut)
Arugula/Baby Spinach/Any leafy greens-to your liking
Tomato slice-1-2
Boar's Head Pepperhouse Gourmaise-1/2 tbsp ( a kind of gourmet Mayonnaise with pepper and horseradish,plain mayo would do too)
Dijon Mustard-a dash




Directions
1.Heat a cast iron griddle pan and spray some cooking spray. Once heated place one slice of the Italian bread down and smear some of the gourmet mayo on it. 


2.Then top with the tomatoes, greens, turkey slices and finally provolone. I smear some Dijon on the turkey before topping with cheese. 


3.Complete the sandwich with a slice of the bread with some more mayo. 


4.Using a spatula press down on the sandwich for about a minute. After a couple of minutes flip the sandwich, make sure the sandwich doesn't fall apart. And again press down with spatula. 
Once the cheese melts, your grill marked sandwich is ready to devour. Fast, easy and not your ordinary turkey and cheese sandwich!


*You can use Pepper Jack Cheese or any kind of cheese instead of the provolone. I have also used Jalapeno and Cayenne Cheese for that extra kick!
