Turkey, Broccoli, & Cheddar Grilled Cheese

I have been wanting to make these for so long. My kids pretty much only eat turkey lunch meat (sometimes chicken) and they love broccoli. So this is kind of a no-brainer for a more filling grilled cheese. Instead of buttering the bread, I put the butter in the skillet and it gave me the same result. Less hassle, less mess.

What you need:

• 8 slices of bread
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 to 1 1/2 cups broccoli florets
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Turkey, shredded (I used lunch meat)
• Cheddar cheese slices
• Butter
• Salt and pepper

Directions:

In a skillet, melt 1 Tbsp. butter and cook onion and broccoli and until onion is softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for one minute. 

Add turkey, season with salt and pepper, and cook until warm. Remove from skillet.

Build sandwiches: broccoli & turkey mixture topped with a piece of cheese.
Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in skillet and place 4 sandwiches directly onto butter. Cook until golden brown. 

Flip, adding 1 Tbsp. butter more, if needed. Cook until golden brown. Remove and slice to serve!
