Herby Turkey Grilled Cheese Sandwich cut  in half and stacked on top of each other

I’m not usually one to follow the many different food holidays throughout the year, but this Herby Turkey Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Sun-Dried Tomato Spread fit very nicely into April’s National Grilled Cheese Month. As I was blitzing up a jar of sun-dried tomato spread, I knew I wanted to shmear that beautiful red deliciousness across the inside of a hearty grilled cheese sandwich. Again, I took inspiration from our daughter’s favorite bagel sandwich order (I talked about it here). The result? A grilled cheese layered with so many wonderful flavors and textures that it will make your lunch plate sing!

You’ll notice that this recipe is not exactly a recipe, but more like a list of favorite ingredients to build an incredible sandwich. If you have a jar of homemade sun-dried tomato spread, a tub of Land O Lakes® Garlic & Herb Butter Spread (easy to spread, plus adds great flavor to any grilled sandwich), and a tub of Rondelé® Garlic & Herbs Cheese Spread (our daughter’s favorite way to add creamy flavor to a wrap) in your refrigerator, you have the makings for an easy and delicious sandwich or wrap, any time you desire. These three items are commonplace in our refrigerator, adding depth and flavor to our home and school lunches every single week. (This post is not a sponsored one, we just really like these products.)

Herby Turkey Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Sun-Dried Tomato Spread

The older I get, the heartier I like my bread. I used Great Harvest Bread Company‘s High 5 Fiber bread, which added even more depth to this sandwich. Grilled on a hot cast iron griddle, the exterior comes out crisp and buttery, the perfect contrast to all the delicious layers inside.
