Categories main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup store-bought pesto
8 slices pullman white bread
1/4 cup marinara sauce
8 slices sliced mozzarella or provolone
8 thin slices smoked turkey
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Place the tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with the salt. Toss well to coat. Roast the tomatoes until beginning to pop and blister, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, spread 1 tablespoon pesto on 4 slices of bread. Spread 1 tablespoon marinara on the other 4 slices. Place a slice of mozzarella on each slice of bread. Divide the turkey evenly on 4 slices of bread and top with some of the blistered tomatoes. Sprinkle each sandwich with 1 tablespoon Parmesan. Top with the remaining slices of bread and press gently.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add half of the remaining oil to the skillet and add 2 sandwiches. Place a lid slightly smaller than the skillet on top of the sandwiches and press down. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip the sandwiches and repeat on the second side. Continue with the remaining sandwiches. (Alternatively, you can use a panini press.) Serve warm.

AVOCADO TURKEY PANINI

If you don't have a panini press, simply grill as you would your favorite grilled cheese. To mimic the pressed, crusty panini, weight down the sandwiches with a cast iron or other heavy skillet. For another layer of flavor, you could add a thin spread of Dijon mustard or pesto under the cheese. Yields 2 sandwiches.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

4 slices country style or other hearty bread (ciabatta rolls work well, too; see notes)
1/4 pound leftover shredded turkey or chipped deli turkey
1/2 ripe avocado
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/8 teaspoon each kosher salt and pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
4-6 slices Sargento Ultra Thin or regular Provolone cheese (may substitute variety of choice)
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
1 roasted red pepper, sliced into thin strips (may use freshly roasted or marinated from jar)

Steps:

Preheat a panini press. (You may use a skillet or grill pan if you don't have a panini press.) In a small bowl, mash the avocado, mayonnaise, salt and pepper together until thoroughly mixed. Brush one side of each piece of bread with olive oil, and place with the olive oil side down. Top two of the bread slices with three pieces of the thin sliced cheese or two pieces of the regular, breaking as needed to evenly cover the bread. Place half of the sliced turkey, half of the spinach leaves, and half of the sliced pepper on top of each piece of cheese covered bread. Spread half of the avocado mixture on the two remaining slices of bread (on the side without the olive oil), and place on top of the turkey covered pieces. Carefully, place the sandwiches on the panini press, and cook until the bread is golden brown and crisp and the cheese has melted, about 3 to 5 minutes. Cut in half and enjoy warm.

Tips:

Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color, with no bruises or blemishes. They should yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
Use day-old bread: Day-old bread will hold up better in a panini press and will give the sandwich a nice, crispy texture.
Spread the avocado mixture evenly: Be sure to spread the avocado mixture evenly over the bread so that each bite has a good amount of avocado flavor.
Don't overcook the sandwich: Paninis are best when they are cooked until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown, but not overcooked. Overcooking will make the bread dry and tough.

Conclusion:

The turkey and avocado panini is a delicious, satisfying, and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for lunch or dinner. With its creamy avocado, savory turkey, and melted cheese, this sandwich is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give the turkey and avocado panini a try.
