GF bread (I use UDIs)
Cheddar cheese slices
Sliced turkey breast
Sliced tomatoes
Avocado
Sliced mushrooms

Butter the pan and heat it up.
Put mayonnaise on the two bread slices.
Put one slice of the bread in the pan and top with cheese, turkey breast, a tomato slice, a slice of avocado and mushrooms. Then cover with the second slice of bread. Cook till the bread is golden brown then flip over and do the same with the other side. (About 2-3 mins each side)
