Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 6 slices Cooked turkey breast
- 2 slices Provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 teaspoons Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 handful Baby spinach leaves (optional)
- 1 for greasing Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your panini press or grill pan over medium heat.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together.
Spread the mayo-mustard mixture evenly on the unbuttered side of all four slices of bread.
On two of the slices (the unbuttered side facing up), layer 3 slices of cooked turkey breast and 1 slice of provolone cheese.
If desired, add a handful of baby spinach leaves on top of the cheese for extra flavor and texture.
Place the remaining slices of bread on top, buttered side out, to form two sandwiches.
Lightly spray the panini press or grill pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the sandwiches in the panini press or on the grill pan. If using a grill pan, use a heavy pan or spatula to press down the sandwiches.
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side (or 5-7 minutes total in a panini press) until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the panini from the heat, let cool for 1-2 minutes, and then slice each sandwich in half diagonally.
Serve warm and enjoy your turkey and cheese panini with your favorite soup or side salad.
