1. Preheat your panini press to medium-high heat. If you are using a grill pan or skillet, preheat it over medium heat.
2. Lay out the slices of sourdough bread. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice.
3. On two slices of bread (mayonnaise side up), layer 3 ounces of turkey breast, 2 slices of bacon, 1 lettuce leaf, 2 slices of tomato, and 2 slices of Swiss cheese. Top each with the remaining bread slices, mayonnaise side down.
4. Spread a thin layer of butter onto the outside of each sandwich (the top and bottom). This will help achieve a crispy, golden crust.
5. Place the sandwiches on your preheated panini press, grill pan, or skillet. If using a grill pan or skillet, use another heavy pan or a spatula to press the sandwich down as it cooks.
6. Cook for 3–5 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
7. Remove the sandwiches from the heat and let them rest for 2 minutes before slicing them in half.
8. Serve warm and enjoy your Turkey BLT Panini with your favorite side dish or dipping sauce!
