Ingredients
  

8 slices of sourdough bread

1 pound deli sliced turkey breast

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1/2 cup diced green chilies (canned or fresh)

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Spread: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined and set aside.

    Assemble the Sandwiches: Lay out 4 slices of sourdough bread on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of the mayonnaise mixture on each slice.

      Layer the Filling: On top of the spread, layer the turkey slices evenly on all 4 pieces of bread, followed by an even distribution of the diced green chilies. Lastly, sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top.

        Top and Butter: Place the remaining 4 slices of sourdough bread on top to form the sandwiches. Spread the softened butter on the outside of each sandwich for a delicious, crispy finish.

          Grill the Sandwiches: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. You may need to press down slightly with a spatula to ensure even grilling.

            Serve: Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwiches from the skillet. Let them cool for a minute, then cut in half. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired.

              Enjoy: Serve the sandwiches warm with your favorite side, such as chips, a salad, or pickles.
