CHIPOTLE TURKEY PANINI

Chipotle Turkey Panini image

This is my favorite sandwich! This also works well as a grilled wrap. YUMMM! Cruchy, creamy, and warm with just a little bite to it. I freeze small portions of minced/ pureed chipotle peppers in adobo so that I have them on hand for chipotle recipes and don't waste a whole can when I just need 1-2 peppers. Here's a link to a cookbook with other recipes calling for chipotle peppers in adobo and instructions on how I freeze mine- http://www.recipezaar.com/cookbook.php?bookid=150466

Ingredients

8 slices sourdough bread
1/4-1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 -2 tablespoon chipotle chile in adobo, pureed
8 slices cooked bacon
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
1 tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 lb sliced deli turkey or 1 lb chopped cooked turkey
4 slices monterey jack cheese
1/4 cup olive oil (or less)

Steps:

Preheat a panini grill (If you co not have a panini grill this can be done in a skillet or on your outdoor grill).
Stir together mayonnaise and chipotle chile sauce in a small bowl.
Stir half of the chipotle sauce in with the turkey.
Spread one side of each slice of sourdough with remaining chipotle sauce. Layer bottom halves with equal amounts turkey, onion, bacon, tomato and cheese. Top with remaining bread slices, forming 4 sandwiches.
Gently press sandwiches together with your hand. Brush both outer sides of sandwiches with olive oil; you will probably not use an entire 1/4 cup of olive oil.
Grill paninis about 5 minutes in the preheated grill, or until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted. Or heat them over medium-low heat, covered, in a large skillet for about 4 minutes on each side, until bread is toasted on both sides and sandwich is heated throughout.
