Turkey Apple Panini
This turkey apple panini is the perfect sandwich for fall. It has everything I love in one place: crispy bread, gooey cheese, juicy apple slices, and earthy sage. Plus it’s packed with protein, so it will help power you through the rest of the day.
Ingredients
- ½ pound sliced deli turkey
- 4 oz sharp white cheddar cheese thinly sliced
- 1 apple thinly sliced
- ¼ cup apple butter
- 8 leaves fresh sage
- 2 Tablespoons butter softened
- 4 slices hearty bread
Instructions
- Heat a grill pan over medium high heat.
- Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread
- Place buttered side of bread down, spread apple butter evenly over the other side of each slice of bread.
- Layer on the cheese, then the apples, turkey, and sage.
- Carefully place the pieces of bread together to make 2 sandwiches. The buttered sides of the bread should be on the outside.
- Place the sandwiches on the hot pan and weigh down with a panini press or other heavy object. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, until the bread is crispy and browned and the cheese is melted.
Notes
If you plan to make these sandwiches in advance to enjoy later, let them cool completely on a wire rack before wrapping in parchment. Wrapping the sandwiches before they're fully cool will result in soggy bread.
