TURKEY ARTICHOKE PANINI (JUST LIKE PANERA'S)

Steps:
- 1. *If roasting tomatoes, roast now and set aside. (Directions below.) Preheat panini grill to medium temperature. In a medium sauce pan, sauté diced red onion in olive oil until transparent. Add balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Slice the loaf of pesto focaccia into two semi-circles, and halve each semi-circle. Spread half of the dip/spread onto bottoms. Top with asiago shavings, as much or little as you like. Srinkle with parmesan cheese. Top with turkey. Top with sautéed onions and tomato slices. Spread tops with rest of dip/spread, top with more asiago and parmesan. Place tops on and lightly press. Brush tops of paninis with olive oil and place oiled side-down. Brush tops with oil. Close lid properly and grill 5 minutes on medium or until the cheese begins to melt and there are grill marks on the focaccia bread. Serve hot with chips or your favorite soup! Enjoy!
