Air Fryer Turkey Melt Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe | Air Fryer World (2024)

Is Deli Turkey OK for this Air Fryer Turkey Melt Sandwich?

Yes, it’s perfectly fine to cut deli turkey. So if you have some sliced deli turkey it’s great for this turkey grilled cheese. Or you can use ham as well, which is awesome. Air fryer ham and cheese sandwich is fantastic and another great way to mix up your sandwich-routine in the air fryer.

Best Bread for Turkey Grilled Cheese?

You can use sliced sandwich bread if you like. It’ll cook soft and tender, especially if you add some extra butter on both sides of the bread. We like using a sourdough sliced loaf for the flavor. Also, sliced loaf bread has a really crispy texture that we love. So you have two options for an excellent air fried sandwich.

Yield: 1 Sandwich

Add some leftover turkey and cheese for a delicious grille turkey melt. The cheese and crispy bread is a satisfying way to enjoy leftover Thanksgiving for lunch.

To ensure that the bread doesn’t fly off during air frying, use a toothpick to secure the sandwich together. Make sure to remove the toothpick before eating!
