Yum! I did omit the jalepeno, and it was delicious (and warm) enough without it. I served with cinnamon apples. I used sourdough rolls, so broiled them instead of grilled. Thanks for posting!

    I was looking for a Turkey Melt recipe because I forgot mine and the word Southwest caught my eye. After looking at the recipe, I didn't think it would be anything special. The thought of salsa on a sandwich didn't appeal to me all that much but I decided to try the recipe based on the rave reviews. We just finished eating them and they were so good! I am going to print this recipe so I can make these again and again. I used whole grain bread and regular jack cheese (because I didn't have the one called for in the recipe). I also substituted regular onion for the green because I didn't have those either. Delicious!

    This was soooo easy. The pepper-jack cheese really makes the difference. My family really enjoyed this meal and I will definitely make these again. I served this with a green salad for a quick, easy supper. Thanks for posting this.

    These were wondeful zesty grilled turkey sandwiches. I used medium salsa. The pepper-jack cheese was delicious. Very easy to make and something different. I served this salad and cold beer for my husband and a margarita for me. Didn't have a big mess to clean up, Yeah!!
