Ingredients
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 6 slices Cooked turkey breast
- 2 slices Provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 teaspoons Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 handful Baby spinach leaves (optional)
- 1 for greasing Olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your panini press or grill pan over medium heat.
Step 2
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together.
Step 4
Spread the mayo-mustard mixture evenly on the unbuttered side of all four slices of bread.
Step 5
On two of the slices (the unbuttered side facing up), layer 3 slices of cooked turkey breast and 1 slice of provolone cheese.
Step 6
If desired, add a handful of baby spinach leaves on top of the cheese for extra flavor and texture.
Step 7
Place the remaining slices of bread on top, buttered side out, to form two sandwiches.
Step 8
Lightly spray the panini press or grill pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 9
Place the sandwiches in the panini press or on the grill pan. If using a grill pan, use a heavy pan or spatula to press down the sandwiches.
Step 10
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side (or 5-7 minutes total in a panini press) until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.
Step 11
Remove the panini from the heat, let cool for 1-2 minutes, and then slice each sandwich in half diagonally.
Step 12
Serve warm and enjoy your turkey and cheese panini with your favorite soup or side salad.
