This sandwich is great as a snack. The recipe makes only a half-sandwich, but it’s a meaty half-sandwich (great protein-to-carb ratio). I often eat it with an orange or banana, and it’s the perfect amount of food. Did you know that 4 ounces of deli turkey (or other deli meat) often contain as much as 1,200 mg sodium? If you’re watching your sodium, oven-roast your own skinless turkey breast at home and slice it down very thinly for deli meat. This will not only save you money but also allow you to control the amount of salt in the meat. If you can’t roast your own turkey breast, be sure to look for lower-sodium varieties of deli turkey.

Preheat a toaster oven or the oven to 400°F.

Place one bread half-slice on a small baking sheet. Top it evenly with one of the cheese halves, the turkey, and then the remaining piece of cheese. Top that with the remaining half-slice of bread. Bake until the cheese is melted and the bread is lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
