Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole wheat sandwich bread
- 4 slices Deli-style turkey breast (low fat)
- 2 slices Low-fat Swiss cheese
- 2 slices Turkey bacon
- 1 small Roma tomato
- 2 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1.5 tablespoons Light mayonnaise
- 1 spray Olive oil cooking spray
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing all your ingredients. Slice the Roma tomato into thin rounds and set them aside. Wash and pat dry the Romaine lettuce leaves.
Cook the turkey bacon in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to absorb excess grease.
Lightly spray one side of each slice of whole wheat sandwich bread with olive oil cooking spray. This will create a golden, crispy crust when grilled.
On the un-sprayed side of two bread slices, spread 3/4 tablespoon of light mayonnaise on each slice evenly.
To assemble the panini, layer 2 slices of turkey breast, 1 slice of low-fat Swiss cheese, 1 leaf of Romaine lettuce, a few slices of tomato, and 1 slice of cooked turkey bacon on top of the mayonnaise-coated side of the bread. Sprinkle lightly with salt and black pepper for seasoning.
Top each assembled sandwich with the remaining bread slices, making sure the sprayed side faces outward for grilling.
Preheat a panini press or a grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwiches on the press or pan. If using a grill pan, use a heavy skillet to press the sandwich down.
Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the heat, slice each one in half diagonally, and serve immediately. Enjoy your crispy, flavorful Low Fat Club Panini!
