Place the sandwiches butter-side down in the skillet and butter the top sides.Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the Swiss cheese is fully melted

Pro Tips
* Use freshly sliced deli turkey for the best texture and flavor.
* Cover the skillet for the final minute of cooking to help melt the Swiss cheese faster.
* For extra crunch, add a few pickle slices inside the sandwich before grilling.
* A cast-iron skillet creates the crispiest golden crust.
