Dairy Queens Turkey Club Panini Recipes

SMOKED TURKEY CLUB PANINI

Steps:

• Cook bacon until crisp. You can use a skillet or use the microwave, placing the bacon in a single layer on a paper-towel lined plate, cover with paper towels and microwave for about 5 minutes (repeating the process if all the bacon doesn't fit the first round). In a small bowl, combine the sun-dried tomatoes and mayonnaise.
• Lightly spread butter over one side of each bread. Lay the butter-sides down on a cutting board or work area. Spread each slice with the sun-dried tomato mayonnaise. Layer half of the cheese on 4 slices of bread then top with turkey, bacon, spinach (or arugula) and remaining cheese. Top with remaining bread, butter side up.
• Cook the sandwiches on a panini press, skillet or grill pan heated on medium heat for one minute prior to cooking. I use an indoor grill pan for my paninis but a skillet would work just as well. I place 2-3 sandwiches (depending on the size of the sandwich) in the grill pan and weigh the sandwiches down with a heavy pot (you can also use a foil-covered brick or similar object). Cook the sandwiches for about 4-5 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Serve immediately.

PRIMA DONNA TURKEY CLUB SANDWICH

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Preheat Panini press, Indoor grill, or a grill pan.
• 2. Mix together mayonnaise, basil, garlic and Dijon mustard.
• 3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place prosciutto slices in a single layer on parchment paper. Bake at 350° F for 15 minutes. Place crispy prosciutto onto a paper towel lined plate to drain some of the grease.
• 4. Place spinach in a microwave safe dish, season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook on high 5 minutes or until cooked through. Stir, and allow to cool 10 minutes or until cool enough to handle. Squeeze spinach dry.
• 5. Cut pizza crust into quarters. Trim if necessary to make 4 equal sized triangles. **Note from Test Kitchen: We found it easier to use a mini crust and cut into pieces after sandwich was assembled.**
• 6. Spread mayonnaise sauce on both sides of all 4 triangles.
• 7. On two of the triangles, layer turkey, spinach, Artichoke hearts, thinly sliced mushroom, sliced Havarti and the crispy prosciutto.
• 8. Top with remaining triangle.
• 9. Place in preheated press or grill. Cook 3 minutes.
• 10. Turn ¼ turn and cook 2 minutes more to create grill marks and heat sandwich through.
• 11. Cut each triangle in half to create 4 sandwiches. Serve hot.
