Tips:

  • Use a high-quality bread for your panini. A sturdy bread, such as ciabatta or sourdough, will hold up well to the fillings and won't get soggy.
  • Don't overload your panini. Too many fillings will make it difficult to close and may cause the bread to tear.
  • Press your panini down firmly with a panini press or a heavy skillet. This will help to ensure that the bread is evenly toasted and the fillings are melted and gooey.
  • Serve your panini hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include tomato sauce, pesto, or ranch dressing.

Turkey panini with sun-dried tomato pesto is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for lunch or dinner. With its flavorful combination of roasted turkey, melted cheese, and tangy pesto, this panini is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give this turkey panini a try.
