Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 4 ounces Cooked lean turkey breast, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Baby spinach leaves
- 3 slices Tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- N/A Extra virgin olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat a panini press or a grill pan over medium heat.
Lay out the two slices of whole grain bread on a cutting board.
Spread the Dijon mustard evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Layer the thinly sliced turkey breast on one slice of bread.
Top with shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese, baby spinach leaves, and tomato slices.
Place the second slice of bread on top, mustard side down, to form the sandwich.
Lightly spray the outside of the sandwich with extra virgin olive oil cooking spray to help it crisp up while cooking.
Place the sandwich in the preheated panini press or grill pan. If using a grill pan, press the sandwich down with a clean, heavy object like a small skillet.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side (if using a grill pan) or 4-5 minutes in a panini press, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the panini from the heat, slice it in half, and serve immediately.
