Ingredients

Serves 6

• 6 ciabatta rolls, or 12 slices of sourdough or crusty Italian bread
• 6 slices Provolone cheese
• 1/2 cup pesto (store bought or homemade)
• 1/4 cup sundried tomatoes, finely chopped
• 1 pound all-natural deli-sliced turkey
• 2-3 tablespoons softened butter

Instructions

1. Build the Paninis: Butter the outside of both pieces of bread. Spread pesto on the inside of both pieces. To the bottom bun, add 1 slice of Provolone cheese, about 2-3 slices of turkey, and 2 teaspoons of chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Place other bun on top. If you’re freezing the sandwiches for later use, wrap them individually, transfer to a container or zip-top bag, and freeze.
2. Cook the Paninis: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the sandwich(es) in the hot pan and press down with a spatula or another heavy-bottomed pan. Once the bread gets toasted on the first side and the cheese starts to melt, flip to the other side. Press the sandwich down again. Remove the sandwich from the pan once it’s golden brown on the second side, after a minute or two.
