Turkey toast with Kashar cheese is a Turkish-style toasted sandwich made with bread, turkey and Kashar, a mild, stretchy cheese. The filled bread is pressed until crisp outside and the cheese is hot and soft within. In Turkey, it is a familiar quick breakfast or an easy meal between errands, often enjoyed with tea; it also works well as a casual lunch or snack elsewhere.
Turkey and cheese make it a protein-rich sandwich, while the bread supplies most of its carbohydrates. A serving pairs nicely with fresh tomatoes or a simple salad; add those on the side for a lighter-feeling meal rather than making the toast larger.

Turkey toast with Kashar cheese is a hot toasted sandwich filled with turkey and Kashar, a Turkish semi-hard cheese. It is commonly made with sliced bread and cooked until the cheese melts and the outside turns crisp.
To make Turkey toast with Kashar cheese, layer sliced turkey and Kashar between two pieces of bread, then toast in a sandwich press or skillet. Cook until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted.
Yes, cheddar can replace Kashar in Turkey toast with Kashar cheese, although the flavor will be sharper and less traditionally Turkish. Choose a cheddar that melts well and avoid overfilling the sandwich.
Sturdy sandwich bread works best for Turkey toast with Kashar cheese because it holds the filling and crisps evenly. Thinly sliced sourdough or another mild loaf also works, but very thick slices may toast before the cheese melts.
Either deli turkey or sliced roast turkey works in Turkey toast with Kashar cheese. Deli turkey gives a saltier, more savory sandwich, while leftover roast turkey has a milder flavor; slice either thinly so it warms through.
Keep Turkey toast with Kashar cheese crisp by patting wet ingredients dry and avoiding watery fillings such as thick tomato slices. Toast it soon after assembling, and add sauces sparingly so they do not soak into the bread.
Yes, you can make Turkey toast with Kashar cheese in a skillet. Set the sandwich in a lightly greased pan, press it gently with a spatula, and turn it once the underside is browned; moderate heat helps the center warm evenly.
Turkey toast with Kashar cheese pairs well with a green salad, sliced vegetables, pickles, or a bowl of soup. Choose a fresh or lightly dressed side to balance the rich, toasted bread and melted cheese.
Refrigerate leftover Turkey toast with Kashar cheese in a covered container once it has cooled, and reheat it in a skillet or toaster oven for a crisp crust. A microwave warms it quickly but tends to soften the bread.
Yes, Turkey toast with Kashar cheese can make a filling lunch because it combines bread with turkey and melted cheese. Add vegetables or salad for a more rounded meal, especially if one sandwich alone does not satisfy you.
