Turkey Apple Grilled Cheese

makes: 1 sandwich

​Ingredients: 

2 slices sourdough bread (or your favorite kind) 
1/2 apple cut into thin slices 
1 garlic clove smashed
1/2 red onion cut into thin slices
1 tsp flavorless oil
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp salt 
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
2 slices turkey cold cut
6 slices provolone cheese
butter

Directions: 
  1. With your pan on medium high heat, add in your oil. Let heat for 2 min then add in your onions, garlic, seasoning and half the sliced apples. Sauté for 3 min until a little caramelized then cover with a lid for 2 min until the onions and apples get a little soft. Add in the rest of your sliced apples and remove from the heat. 
  2. Layer on the cheese on both slices of bread. Pile on the apples and onions onto one slice, the turkey on the other,
  3. Carefully close up the sandwich, press it down with your hand. Spread over half a tablespoon on the top of the sandwich.
  4. Heat up your nonstick skillet on medium low heat. Place your sandwich buttered side down. Butter the bread slice facing up. Press down with your spatula. Let cook for 3-5 minutes until the bottom is a nice golden brown. 
  5. Flip and let the other side cook for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Continue to press with your spatula to make sure the sandwich is compact. 
  6. Remove from the heat, cut in half and watch the cheese pull apart! Enjoy.

4, 1/2 inch slices fresh mozzarella cheese
1 slices prosciutto (optional)
