Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked turkey, shredded

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

8 small waffles (store-bought or homemade)

4 tablespoons butter, softened

Optional: fresh herbs (like parsley or chives) for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Maker: Begin by preheating your waffle maker according to its instructions.

    Make the Turkey Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded turkey, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined and the cheese is evenly distributed.

      Assemble the Waffle Melts: Spread a thin layer of the turkey mixture onto one side of 4 waffles. Place the other 4 waffles on top to create a sandwich.

        Prepare for Cooking: Lightly butter the outside of each waffle sandwich to achieve a golden crust.

          Cook the Waffle Melts: Place the sandwiches in the preheated waffle maker and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are crispy and the cheese is melted. Time may vary depending on your waffle maker.

            Serve: Carefully remove the sandwiches from the waffle maker. Cut each sandwich in half and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces or sides.
