Turkey Pesto Panini

I had some left over pesto and this recipe uses a whole 4 teaspoons of it so naturally I had to try it. Well, and because I'm a sandwich lover...



Turkey Pesto Panini

2 Tbsp fat-free mayonnaise (I use light because it's much better than fat-free...)
4 tsp basil pesto
8 thin slices sourdough bread
8 oz sliced deli turkey
4 thin slices provolone cheese
1 tomato, sliced
Cooking spray

Combine mayonnaise and pesto, mixing well. Spread 1 tablespoon onto each of 4 bread slices; top each slice with turkey, cheese, and tomato. Top with remaining bread slices. Spray each side of sandwich with nonstick cooking spray. (Spray one side, place on hot panini grill* face down then spray the other side.) Close grill and cook for 3 minutes or until golden brown.

*If you don't have a panini grill, cook the sandwiches on a griddle or in a skillet and place a heavy skillet on top of the sandwich while it cooks. Flip the sandwich halfway through so that each side browns nicely.

Makes 4 sandwiches.
