Yes, you can substitute whole-wheat bread with other types such as sourdough, rye, or white bread. Just ensure they are suitable for grilling.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet to retain crispness before serving.
You can use other deli meats like turkey breast, chicken breast, or even vegetarian options like grilled vegetables or plant-based deli slices.

Tips:

- For an added layer of flavor, consider spreading a thin layer of mustard or mayonnaise on the inside of the bread before adding the turkey ham and cheese.
