Turkey Brie And Cranberry Paninis Recipes

TURKEY BRIE CRANBERRY SPINACH PANINI

Steps:

• On one slice of bread spread Dijon according to taste.
• Layer on Brie, turkey, cranberry sauce, spinach, and another layer of Brie cheese.
• Top with the other slice of bread. Butter the outsides of the bread or heat butter in a nonstick skillet, a griddle or panini press until sizzling.
• Cook the sandwich in the hot skillet/griddle/panini press, pressing down with a spatula or a heavy saucepan (if you aren't using an actual panini press), flipping halfway through, until the bread is golden on both sides, and the cheese is melted.
• Serve immediately.

TURKEY BRIE AND CRANBERRY PANINIS

Steps:

• On the bottom slice of each roll add the thick cut turkey slices and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper.
• Top each with the brie cheese, thin apple slices, and whole berry cranberry sauce. Put the top bun on right before putting on the panini press.
• Preheat a panini press to medium high heat. Place two sandwiches on the press and close the lid, pressing down slightly. Keep them in the press for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and repeat with the remaining sandwiches.

BRIE, CRANBERRY AND BACON PANINI

Steps:

• If using panini rolls, cut each roll in half. If using regular bread, spread the outside of each slice with butter.
• Spread 2 1/2 tablespoons of cranberry sauce each on 2 slices of bread.
• Layer the brie over the cranberry sauce.
• Top with 2 slices of bacon and the top layer of bread, remembering to keep the buttered side facing outwards.
• I use a George Foreman grill to cook the panini- press the lid down to heat the sandwich right through and cook for a few minutes until the cheese has melted.
• Alternatively, cook in a skillet, pressing the sandwich firmly with a spatula while cooking.
• Serve hot!

TURKEY, BRIE, AND CRANBERRY PANINI

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil and butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. When the fat starts to sizzle, add the onion, thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring, until the onion slices are caramelized and golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from the heat, and cool slightly.
• Heat a panini press to medium-high. To assemble the sandwich, butter one side of a focaccia slice and place it butter-side down on grill. Top with 3 or 4 ounces of turkey, a spoonful of onion, 2 slices Brie, and a slather of cranberry sauce. Top with the remaining slice of focaccia, butter the top, and place the sandwich on the grill. Carefully lower the grill over the top, to press the sandwich together neatly, and grill until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat to make the other sandwiches.
