Turkey Panini
Description
This Turkey Panini is assembled with sourdough slices spread with mayonnaise on both sides. Layered inside are turkey breast slices, fresh thyme leaves, tangy cranberry sauce, and provolone cheese. Cooking on a panini press or skillet heats the sandwich until the bread crisps and the cheese melts, binding the ingredients together.
The pressed sandwich combines the earthiness of turkey and thyme with the sweet-tart cranberry sauce and creamy provolone. The mayonnaise adds moisture and helps the bread toast to a golden exterior. The texture contrasts a crisp crust with melted, gooey cheese and tender meat.
Leftovers can be stored airtight in the refrigerator for a day and reheated briefly in a panini press or toaster oven for best texture. A skillet can also be used if a panini press is unavailable, pressing gently with a spatula during cooking.
Ingredients
- 3 ounces sourdough bread 2 slices sliced about ½ inch thick
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 3 ounces turkey breast
- 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce
- 1 lice provolone cheese
- 1 tablespoon thyme fresh
Instructions
- Heat a panini press or skillet to medium high heat.
- Spread the mayonnaise on both sides of the bread. Lay the slices down on a clean work surface. Place the sliced turkey breast on top of one slice of bread. Add the fresh thyme leaves, then the cranberry sauce and finally the provolone cheese.
- Cover the sandwich with the other slice of bread.
- Transfer the sandwich to a panini press or hot skillet. Press together gently to help the whole sandwich stick together. Cook it until the bread is crisp and golden and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes.
- Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately.
Notes
- Consume the sandwich soon after preparation for optimal texture and flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day and reheat in a panini press or toaster oven.
- Using a skillet to cook the sandwich is a good alternative to a panini press, pressing down with a spatula to crisp both sides.
- While the recipe specifies ingredients, there is flexibility to customize the sandwich fillings to your taste.
