Turkey Club Panini Sandwich

This is my type of club sandwich! In fact, this is my favorite sandwich right now. Melted cheesy, meaty goodness…

A boule loaf (rustic and round) works nicely. I used a multi-grain boule loaf from my local grocery store bakery, but a sourdough or other artisan loaf would be awesome too. And really, it would probably be good with any hearty bread, you know, one that won’t fall apart easily.

Nearly all of the other ingredients have coupons available too! Search for coupons here or click on the ingredient in the recipe.

Chop up some sun-dried tomatoes and mix with mayo. Then cook up some bacon and your prep is basically done!

I don’t have a panini press, but I do have a large George Foreman (I got a deal on the Next Grilleration one a long time ago). So I grilled my sandwiches on the George, applying pressure to squish them down, and it worked great. You could also use a grill pan or skillet and weigh the sandwiches down with heavy pot or foil-covered brick or something of the like.

Turkey Club Panini Sandwich This is my type of club sandwich! In fact, this is my favorite sandwich right now. Melted cheesy, meaty goodness… A boule loaf (rustic and round) works nicely. I used a multi-grain boule loaf from my local grocery store bakery, but a sourdough or other artisan loaf would be awesome too.

Ingredients

8-12 slices bacon
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil
1/3 cup light mayonnaise
8 slices thick-cut crusty bread
butter for spreading
1/2 pound thinly sliced deli Swiss cheese
1/2 pound thinly sliced deli smoked turkey
3 cups baby spinach or arugula

Instructions

Cook bacon until crisp.
You can use a skillet, oven, or use the microwave, placing the bacon in a single layer on a paper-towel lined plate, cover with paper towels and microwave for about 5 minutes.
Rinse, pat dry, and mince the sun-dried tomatoes.
In a small bowl, combine the sun-dried tomatoes and mayonnaise.
Lightly spread butter over one side of each bread.
Lay the butter-sides down on a cutting board or work area.
Spread each slice with the sun-dried tomato mayonnaise.
Layer half of the cheese on 4 slices of bread then top with turkey, bacon, spinach (or arugula) and remaining cheese.
Top with remaining bread, butter side up.
Cook the sandwiches on a panini press, skillet or grill pan heated on medium heat for one minute prior to cooking.
Cook the sandwiches for about 4-5 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Repeat with remaining sandwiches.
Serve immediately.
