Ingredients

• 2 slices Whole grain bread
• 4 slices Low-sodium sliced turkey breast
• 1 slice Swiss cheese
• 1 handful Fresh spinach leaves
• 2 slices Sliced tomato
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (low-sodium)
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil or unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a panini press or a stovetop grill pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Lay out the two slices of whole grain bread on a flat surface.

Step 3

Spread the low-sodium Dijon mustard evenly on one side of each slice of bread.

Step 4

On one slice of bread, layer the low-sodium turkey breast slices, Swiss cheese, tomato slices, and spinach leaves in that order. For an extra flavor boost, drizzle with a small amount of balsamic vinegar if desired.

Step 5

Place the second slice of bread on top, mustard side down, to form a sandwich.

Step 6

Lightly brush the outside of the sandwich with olive oil or spread a thin layer of unsalted butter for a crispy crust when grilled.

Step 7

Place the sandwich in the preheated panini press or on the stovetop grill pan. If using a grill pan, press down gently with a spatula and consider weighing it down with a heavy pan to emulate a press.

Step 8

Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.

Step 9

Remove from heat, let cool for 2 minutes, and slice in half to serve.
