½ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • Add the Parmesan and salt and blend for another 30 seconds, or until thoroughly combined.
  • Cut the top off the loaf of bread. Use a serrated knife to cut a circle in the center of the bread, then use a large spoon to scoop out the inside. Try to keep bread in one piece.
  • Use a rolling pin to roll the excess bread into one flat piece of bread. Spread melted butter on both side of the rolled out bread and bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.

  • Top with the toasted bread and brush with pesto. Add the remaining bacon, turkey, tomato, and cheese. Finally, spread pesto on the bottom lid of the bread and over the cheese. Place the lid of bread on top of it and then press down with a heavy oven-safe pan.

Tips:

- To make the perfect turkey pesto panini, choose high-quality ingredients. Look for fresh, flavorful pesto, thinly sliced turkey, and a sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings. - Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of pesto. There are endless variations available, so you can find one that suits your taste. - If you're using a store-bought pesto, be sure to taste it before using it. Some store-bought pestos can be quite salty, so you may need to adjust the amount you use. - Be careful not to overstuff the panini. Too many fillings will make it difficult to close and eat. - Cook the panini over medium heat. This will help to prevent the bread from burning while ensuring that the fillings are heated through. - Serve the panini immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include a side salad, soup, or chips.
