Turkey Tortilla Panini Recipes

TORTILLA TURKEY SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, mayonnaise and pesto until blended. Spread about 2 tablespoons over each tortilla. Layer with lettuce, turkey, tomato, olives and cheese; roll up. Secure with toothpicks.

SWEET AND SAVORY TURKEY PANINI

Steps:

• Fill a pot with 2-inches of canola oil and heat it to 375 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Arrange the bacon on a sheet tray with a rack. Brush the bacon with even amounts of maple syrup. Bake until crisp, about 18 to 22 minutes. Remove the bacon from the oven to a paper towel lined platter. Set aside.
• Combine the flour, cayenne, and salt and pepper, to taste, in a medium-sized bowl. Add the sliced shallots and toss the shallots in the flour to coat evenly. Shake off excess flour. Working in 2 batches, fry the shallots until crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove them to a paper towel lined platter and sprinkle with salt. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, chipotles, adobo sauce, cilantro, lemon and garlic until well combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
• Slice the turkey breast into 1/4-inch slices. Lay the bread out on a large cutting board. Spread chipotle mayonnaise on each slice of bread. Top each slice of bread with a slice of smoked Cheddar and a couple slices of bacon. Sprinkle some crispy shallots on 3 slices of bread. Put a few slices of turkey on top of the onions. Sprinkle some additional shallots on the turkey. Form 3 sandwiches and spread each sandwich with a little melted butter. Put the sandwiches in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, pressing down the sandwich with a spatula, for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove the sandwiches from the pan and serve.

TIM'S TURKEY TORTILLA SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir turkey in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Transfer turkey to a 5-quart pot.
• Mix broth, picante sauce, cilantro, lime juice, and olive oil into turkey; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover pot, and simmer until flavors blend, about 40 minutes. Transfer soup to serving bowls and top with tortilla chips.

TORTILLA PANINI

Steps:

• 1. Warm your tortilla for 15 seconds or so in the microwave. Slice the tortilla from the center to the bottom. Mentally divide it into four quadrants, with the first quadrant being the one immediately to the right of the slice, the second above it, the third to the left of the second, and the fourth below the third.
• 2. Scramble your egg with a pinch of salt. Pour it into a heated small skillet (butter or cooking spray is good, but optional). Let it cook a minute or so until it starts to set. Lift up an edge and let liquid egg seep underneath. Try to keep it fairly flat - you want an egg pancake, not scrambled eggs.
• 3. Fit the egg pancake into the second quadrant. Season as desired (I added a little hot sauce).
• 4. Fit the ham slice into the third quadrant.
• 5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the fourth quadrant and top with a few pieces of roasted red pepper or green chiles - I used jarred sweet bell pepper, because I had some already opened, but would also use canned green chiles.
• 6. Fold up the tortilla, folding the empty first quadrant over the second, then over the third, finally over the fourth.
• 7. Heat your skillet with a little neutral cooking oil or coconut oil or cooking spray - whatever you like.
• 8. Place your sandwich with the fourth quadrant down - this is the one that had the cheese on it. Cooking this first melts the cheese and keeps it all together. Saute until it's golden brown, carefully flip over and saute the other side. Remove to serving dish.
• I posted photos of the construction process, which hopefully will make this clearer. Obviously, you can use any fillings you like. I've used cooked bacon instead of ham; another time I used deli turkey, thinly sliced pear, and brie. The trick is not to use too much of any filling - it won't fold well.

MEDITERRANEAN TURKEY PANINI

Steps:

• Spread each ciabatta bottom with 2 tablespoons marinara sauce. Top with half the cheese, artichokes, tomato, turkey and remaining cheese. Spread each ciabatta top with 2 tablespoons marinara sauce; place over turkey., Cook on a panini maker or indoor grill until cheese is melted, 4-5 minutes. Place remaining marinara sauce in a small microwave-safe bowl; cover and microwave on high until heated through. Serve with sandwiches.

TURKEY CHEDDAR PANINI

Steps:

• Preheat a heavy skillet or griddle over low heat until a spatter of water disappears quickly.
• Spread bottom half of muffin with cranberry sauce; top with sliced turkey and cheddar cheese. Spread butter on outside top and bottom of muffins.
• Place bottom-side down in preheated skillet. Place a heavy saucepan weighted with 2 canned goods on top to flatten panini. Cook 3 minutes. Turn and cook on second side 3 minutes with weight in place until cheese starts to melt into pan.

PANINI WITH TURKEY AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat panini grill.
• Spread 1 bread slice with mayo. Fill both bread slices with all remaining ingredients except oil.
• Brush outside of sandwich with oil.
• Grill 2 to 3 min. or until sandwich is golden brown and cheese is melted.

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.

12 LAYER TURKEY PESTO PANINI BREAD BOWL RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Make the pesto: In a food processor, combine the basil, garlic, pine nuts, and olive oil. Blend for 30 seconds, or until thick and saucy.
• Add the Parmesan and salt and blend for another 30 seconds, or until thoroughly combined.
• Cut the top off the loaf of bread. Use a serrated knife to cut a circle in the center of the bread, then use a large spoon to scoop out the inside. Try to keep bread in one piece.
• Use a rolling pin to roll the excess bread into one flat piece of bread. Spread melted butter on both side of the rolled out bread and bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Remove the toasted bread from the oven.
• Assemble the sandwich: Place bread bowl in an oven-safe pan. Spread pesto on the bottom of the inside of the bread bowl, then layer in half of the mozzarella slices, 4 slices of tomatoes, 5 slices of turkey, and 4 chopped slices of bacon.
• Top with the toasted bread and brush with pesto. Add the remaining bacon, turkey, tomato, and cheese. Finally, spread pesto on the bottom lid of the bread and over the cheese. Place the lid of bread on top of it and then press down with a heavy oven-safe pan.
• Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Enjoy!
