TURKEY SAMMICH

DON'T go easy on the dressing...

Ingredients:
Hard sourdough bread (from the bakery)
Swiss cheese (esp. Emmenthaler)
Maple/Honey glazed turkey (sliced thin)
White onion
Tomato
Butter
Crushed red pepper
Parmesan cheese
Thousand Island dressing
Extra Thousand Island dressing for dipping

Slice bread thinly, but not so thin that it falls apart and develops holes. Spread a small amount of Thousand Island dressing on the inside of each piece of the bread (if you put on too much, then the rest of the ingredients will slide out). Stack swiss cheese onto the bread, followed by turkey, followed by onions and tomato. Place the other piece of bread on top of the stack and spread thinly with butter. Sprinkle on crushed red pepper flakes and parmesan cheese.

Heat non-stick pan (large) on med to med-high heat (if the heat is too low then the sandwich will stick to the pan because of the parmesan cheese). Place the sandwich butter side down into the pan and press with a spatula to flatten slightly. Let cook for only a minute or so during which time the top side of the sandwich must be buttered and sprinkled with red pepper and parmesan. Flip the sandwich without spilling it's insides and cook until a nice, golden brown, parmesan crust has developed on both sides of the sandwich.

Note: This may produce some spicy smoke in the kitchen, don't freak out.

Cut sandwich in two and serve with ample dressing for dipping. Maybe a pickle on the side. Maybe not.
