Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 1 cup roasted turkey (sliced)
- 4 tablespoons cranberry sauce
- 2 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
Instructions
Preheat a panini press or a stovetop grill pan over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Flip the bread slices over and spread 1 tablespoon of cranberry sauce on the other side of each slice.
On two of the bread slices (cranberry-side up), layer the following: 1/2 cup of roasted turkey, 1 slice of Swiss cheese, and 1/2 cup of baby spinach.
Place the remaining bread slices on top of the fillings, cranberry-side down, to assemble the sandwiches.
Spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter evenly on the top of each sandwich.
Place the sandwiches butter-side down in the panini press or grill pan. Spread the remaining butter on the top of the sandwiches while they begin to cook.
Close the panini press or press down on the sandwiches with a spatula if using a grill pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Remove the paninis from the heat and let them rest for 1 minute before slicing in half.
Serve warm and enjoy!
