TURKEY PESTO PANINI RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat panini press or other sandwich maker--I use a George Foreman grill.
• Spread 4 slices of bread with pesto on one side and the other 4 slices of bread with mayonnaise.
• Divide the turkey, tomato slices, onion slices, and cheese equally among mayonnaise-dressed bread slices.
• Top with remaining bread slices, pesto side down; brush tops with butter.
• Brush the bottom of the panini press with butter.
• Add 2 sandwiches, close lid, and cook about 5 minutes or until lightly browned and cheese is melted.
• Repeat to make the other two sandwiches.
• Cut each sandwich in half and serve.

Steps:

• Spread the bottom half of the loaf with the pesto. Top with the turkey, cheese, and onion. Sandwich with the top half of the loaf and cut into 4 pieces. Dividing evenly, brush the outside of the sandwiches with 1 tablespoon of the oil.
• Heat a grill pan over medium heat and cook the sandwiches, pressing down occasionally, until the bread is crisp and the cheese has melted, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the lettuce and avocado and toss to combine. Serve with the sandwiches.
