Savory Smoked Turkey Melt with Caramelized Onions and Gooey Cheese

1.In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

2.Add the thinly sliced onion to the skillet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown.

3.Once the onions are caramelized, remove them from the skillet and set aside.

4.In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low. Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread with the remaining tablespoon of butter.

5.On the unbuttered side of four slices of bread, layer smoked turkey, caramelized onions, and two slices of Swiss cheese. Sprinkle garlic powder and dried thyme over the cheese for added flavor.

6.Top with the remaining four slices of bread, buttered side up.

7.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 gently with a spatula to ensure even grilling.

8.Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for a minute before slicing in half. Serve warm.
