Turkey Cranberry Panini Recipes

TURKEY, BRIE AND CRANBERRY MUSTARD PANINI

Steps:

• To make the cranberry mustard, add all ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Taste and add more mustard or salt if needed.
• For the sandwiches: Heat up a grill pan, or panini pan, over medium heat.
• Lay out 4 slices of bread. Layer one piece of brie onto each slice and then divide up the turkey over the brie. Top each with another piece of bread and then brush or spray some olive oil over the bread, top and bottom.
• Cooking two sandwiches at a time, toast each side until the bread is golden and the cheese is melty, weighing down the sandwiches as they cook, about 2 minutes per side.
• Once the paninis are all toasted, pry up the top piece of bread and spoon a couple of tablespoons of cranberry mustard over the top and scatter around some sliced sage. Cut each panini in half and serve.

Lay about 3/4 ounce cheese on one slice of the bread; top with 2 ounces turkey meat, 2 tablespoons relish, about 5-6 arugula leaves and an additional 3/4 ounce cheese. Top with the other bread slice (there should be cheese next to each bread slice). Repeat with remaining ingredients.
• Brush the top of the sandwich with olive oil; heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Put the sandwich, oiled-side down, into the pan, place a small heavy pan, or aluminum foil-wrapped brick on top of the sandwich to press it down. Cook until bread is golden and crisp and cheese is beginning to melt, about 5 minutes. Remove the heavy pan or brick, brush the top of the sandwich with oil and carefully flip it. Put the heavy pan or brick back on top of the sandwich and continue cooking until bottom bread slice is browned and crisp, cheese is melted, and sandwich is heated through, about 5 minutes more.
