TURKEY PANINI

Steps:

• Heat a panini press or skillet to medium high heat.

• Invert the sandwich, butter-side down, onto a hot panini maker (or a grill pan or skillet over medium-low heat; see Cook's Note). Spread the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter.
• Close the panini maker and grill until the bread is crusty and golden, the fillings are hot, and the cheese is melted. (If using a grill pan or skillet, flip the sandwich halfway through to grill on the other side.)
• Pull the sandwich off the heat and slice it in half--this sandwich is to die for!
