Rejuvenated Rustic Turkey - Artichoke Panini image

Similar to one of my favorite selections at Panera Bread restaurant--this one will work for lunch as is with a few carrot-sticks on the side OR add a cup of soup or small salad for delicious dinner-time fare. I don't have a panini-maker--so my two large cast-iron frying pans get called into action.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my panini turned out soggy. I think I might have used too much butter.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of turkey in this panini. It turned out great! The tofu was a delicious and healthy substitute.

This panini was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less salt.

This panini was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a bit more sauce or cheese.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my panini turned out dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.
