Turkey and Tomato Panini

If you have a sandwich or panini grill then this meal is super easy to make. The sandwich is filling, so it's great for lunch and if you want a laid back dinner, serve it with soup.

Ingredients

1 tbsp light mayo
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp basil
1/2 tbsp lemon juice
2 slices whole wheat bread (or bread of your choice)
2 oz thinly sliced deli turkey breast
1 tomato slice
1 tsp canola oil (if you don't have a sandwich/panini grill)
pepper to taste

Directions

This panini is super easy to make if you already have a sandwich or panini grill. I used a sandwich grill, but if you don't have one you can create the same effect following these instructions. If you do have a sandwich grill, just assemble the panini and put it in the grill.

1. Have four 15-ounce cans and a medium skillet (not nonstick) ready by the stove.
2. Combine mayonnaise, , Parmesan, basil, lemon juice and pepper in a small bowl. Spread the mixture on each slice of bread.
3. Assemble the panini: turkey, tomato, shredded cheese, and baby spinach (if desired)
4. Heat 1 teaspoon canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place panini in the pan. Place the medium skillet on top of the panini, then weigh it down with the cans. Cook the panini until golden on one side, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, flip the panini, replace the top skillet and cans, and cook until the second side is golden, 1 to 3 minutes more.

*If you have a panini/sandwich grill you can just grill the sandwich once assembled. Takes about 5 minutes.
