Did you roast a huge turkey for Thanksgiving? Do you like turkey but get just a little tired of re-runs? Here’s a great recipe for leftover turkey. I made Panini last night and my daughter said, “I knew you would be making those …Yay!” Panini works best with a crusty, sturdy bread but you can use any bread you have on hand. Use your imagination and add ingredients to the Panini that you like.
Turkey Panini
You’ll need:
- cooked turkey
- crusty bread like foccacia or ciabatta
- olive oil and butter
- swiss cheese
- cranberry relish, not the jello salad kind
- arugula or baby spinach
- brown or dijon mustard
For each sandwich spread one slice of bread with mustard. Add a slice of swiss cheese and spread cranberry relish over it. Top with a layer of cooked turkey and a layer of arugula or spinach, finish off with the final slice of bread.
Paint the bread with a mixture of melted butter and olive oil. Grill in a hot skillet or electric grill until golden brown and toasty. Serve hot.
