Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Turkish sandwich bread or ciabatta
- 8 ounces Cooked turkey breast, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Butter, room temperature
- 1 Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 Zucchini, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried Italian seasoning
Instructions
Preheat a panini press or a grill pan over medium heat.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the slicing onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini, stirring occasionally. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized. Add salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, then remove from the heat.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter evenly over one side of each slice of bread. Flip one slice over so the unbuttered side is facing up.
Layer 4 ounces of turkey slices, 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly onto the unbuttered side of the bread.
Top with a generous spoonful of the sautéed vegetables, then place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing out.
Place the sandwich in your heated press or grill pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden-brown and the cheese is melted. If using a grill pan, press the sandwich gently with a spatula and flip halfway through cooking.
Repeat with the second sandwich.
Slice each panini in half and serve immediately with your favorite side dish or salad. Enjoy!
