This turkey and bacon panini is one of my favorite sandwiches to make. I came up with the recipe when I was trying to use up leftovers one day, and my family raved! It’s also excellent as a vegetarian sandwich if you leave out the turkey and bacon.
Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups fresh spinach leaves
- ½ cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
- 1 teaspoon adobo sauce from chipotle peppers
- 8 (4 inch) pieces focaccia bread
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- ½ pound sliced deli turkey meat
Directions
Step 1
Cook bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 2
While the bacon is cooking, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, 7 to 10 minutes, adding garlic for the last minute. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Step 3
Preheat a panini press according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 4
Stir mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, and adobo sauce together in a small bowl. Spread mixture over 4 slices of focaccia bread, then top each slice with provolone, turkey, two slices bacon, spinach mixture, and remaining bread slices.
Step 5
Cook sandwiches in the preheated panini press until crispy and golden brown, about 5 minutes each.
