Turkey Pear And Raspberry Panini Food

TURKEY PARMESAN PANINI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with the salt. Toss well to coat. Roast the tomatoes until beginning to pop and blister, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, spread 1 tablespoon pesto on 4 slices of bread. Spread 1 tablespoon marinara on the other 4 slices. Place a slice of mozzarella on each slice of bread. Divide the turkey evenly on 4 slices of bread and top with some of the blistered tomatoes. Sprinkle each sandwich with 1 tablespoon Parmesan. Top with the remaining slices of bread and press gently.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add half of the remaining oil to the skillet and add 2 sandwiches. Place a lid slightly smaller than the skillet on top of the sandwiches and press down. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip the sandwiches and repeat on the second side. Continue with the remaining sandwiches. (Alternatively, you can use a panini press.) Serve warm.

SKINNY TURKEY-ARTICHOKE PANINI

Steps:

• Heat closed contact grill or panini maker for 5 minutes.
• Place artichoke hearts on paper towels; pat dry. Coarsely chop artichoke hearts.
• In small bowl, mix artichoke hearts, spreadable cheese and spinach. Spread mixture on 2 bread slices. Top with bell peppers, turkey and shredded cheese. Top with remaining bread slices. Spray both sides of sandwiches with cooking spray.
• When grill is heated,* place sandwiches on grill. Close grill; cook 3 to 5 minutes or until bread is toasted and cheese is melted.

TURKEY, PEAR AND BRIE PANINI ON PUMPERNICKEL WITH PEACH MAYO

Steps:

• Peach Mayonnaise -- In a small food processor, mix up the peaches, mayonnaise and cilantro, salt and pepper to taste. Make ahead, cover and place in the refrigerator.
• Sandwich -- I like to spread the first slice of bread with the mayonnaise, followed by the turkey, pear slices, brie cheese, a few onion rings. Top it off the the top slice also spread a thin layer of the mayonnaise on the inside.
• Grill -- Now, butter your top slice and place buttered side down in your pan. I prefer a grill pan, but you can use any non-stick pan. Grill on medium heat.
• I like to use any heavy pan to slightly weigh down the sandwich as it grills. Then, once the first side is golden brown, butter your top bread slice and flip. Just cook another few minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is melted or "gooey." ENJOY!

TURKEY & SWISS PANINI

Steps:

• Brush one side of 2 bread slice with butter.
• Place slices, butter sides down on panini grill; top with turkey, cheese and arugula. Spread 2 bread slices with jam and top sandwiches, jam side down. Brush remaining bread slices with butter.
• Close grill and cook sandwiches over medium heat 4 to 5 minutes, until bread is crisp and cheese is melted.
• Enjoy!
