Spicy Turkey Avocado Panini Recipes

TURKEY AVOCADO PANINI

Steps:

• Mash the avocado and the mayonnaise together in a bowl until thoroughly mixed.
• Preheat a panini sandwich press.
• To make the sandwiches, split the ciabatta rolls in half the flat way, and brush the bottom of each roll with olive oil. Place the bottoms of the rolls onto the panini press, olive oil side down. Place a provolone cheese slice, half the spinach leaves, half the sliced turkey breast, and a sliced roasted red pepper on each sandwich. Spread half of the avocado mixture on the cut surface of each top, and place the top of the roll on the sandwich. Brush the top of the roll with olive oil.
• Close the panini press and cook until the bun is toasted and crisp, with golden brown grill marks, and the cheese has melted, about 5 to 8 minutes.

AVOCADO TURKEY PANINI

Steps:

• Preheat a panini press. (You may use a skillet or grill pan if you don't have a panini press.) In a small bowl, mash the avocado, mayonnaise, salt and pepper together until thoroughly mixed. Brush one side of each piece of bread with olive oil, and place with the olive oil side down. Top two of the bread slices with three pieces of the thin sliced cheese or two pieces of the regular, breaking as needed to evenly cover the bread. Place half of the sliced turkey, half of the spinach leaves, and half of the sliced pepper on top of each piece of cheese covered bread. Spread half of the avocado mixture on the two remaining slices of bread (on the side without the olive oil), and place on top of the turkey covered pieces. Carefully, place the sandwiches on the panini press, and cook until the bread is golden brown and crisp and the cheese has melted, about 3 to 5 minutes. Cut in half and enjoy warm.

SPICY TURKEY AVOCADO PANINI

Steps:

• Preheat an electric grill/panini press to 350°F, or heat a panini pan and press on medium heat just a few minutes before you are ready to place the sandwiches on the grill pan. Cut, remove seed, and mash small avocado in a small mixing bowl.
• Add guacamole salsa, torn cilantro, and stir until somewhat combined.
• Spread avocado mixture onto inside of both slices of bread. Place deli turkey onto one slice of bread. Place cheese onto the other slice of bread. On top of turkey, layer on tomato, pickled jalapeños, spinach leaves, and top with the remaining slice of bread. Lightly press down on the sandwich with the palm of your hand, then flip it over, so the cheese side is on the bottom.
• In a microwave, melt butter in a small glass bowl. Then with a small silicone pastry brush, evenly spread melted butter on top slice of sandwich. Place sandwich (buttered side down)in panini maker and quickly spread remaining melted butter on top of sandwich (cheese side should now be on top). Close panini maker lid, (if necessary, gently press down), and cook until heated through and cheese has melted (about 5-8 minutes).
• When the cheese has melted and there are golden brown grill marks on the bread, with a silicone turner, transfer panini onto a cutting board to rest for 1 minute, or so. Using a serrated bread knife, slice in half diagonally and serve warm.
