Everyone loves grilled cheese. This high protein version has less fat and a serving of veggies. Serve with a wedge of apple and you’ve got the four food groups.

Makes 4 sandwiches or 16 appetizer-size sandwiches

Ingredients

4 tablespoons honey mustard
8 slices thinly sliced, whole-wheat bread
4 slices turkey deli meat
4 pieces arugula or 1 cup baby spinach leaves
4 ounces thinly sliced reduced-fat Cabot Cheddar Cheese
4 tablespoons reduced-fat, trans-fat free, soft tub margarine
non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Spread 1 tablespoon of the honey mustard on 4 slices of bread. Top those slices with turkey, arugula or spinach, then cheese. Press the remaining slices of bread on top of the cheese.

Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and warm over medium heat. Add half the margarine. When the margarine is melted transfer the sandwiches to a skillet and cook for 2-4 minutes on one side until golden. Spread the top of the sandwiches with the remaining margarine and flip. Cook and additional 2-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the filling is hot. Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board and cut in half or into quarters. Serve immediately.
