Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Whole grain bread slices
- 3 slices Low-sodium roasted turkey breast slices
- 0.25 cup Avocado, mashed
- 0.5 cup Baby spinach
- 0.25 cup Tomato, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 spray Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat a panini press or a non-stick skillet to medium heat.
Spread the mashed avocado evenly on one side of each slice of whole grain bread.
On one slice of avocado-spread bread, layer the turkey slices, baby spinach, tomato slices, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Top with the second slice of bread, avocado side down, to form a sandwich.
Lightly spray both sides of the sandwich with olive oil spray to ensure a crispy, golden exterior.
Place the sandwich in the preheated panini press or skillet. If using a skillet, press down gently with a spatula or another heavy object to flatten the sandwich.
Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the heat and let the panini cool for a minute before slicing it in half.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy turkey panini!
