Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 slices crusty Italian bread
1/2 cup basil pesto (commercial and homemade)
1 -2 tablespoon mayonnaise
3/4 lb thinly sliced oven-roasted turkey breast
1 tomatoes, thinly sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
4 slices gouda cheese
melted butter

Steps:

Preheat panini press or other sandwich maker--I use a George Foreman grill.
Spread 4 slices of bread with pesto on one side and the other 4 slices of bread with mayonnaise.
Divide the turkey, tomato slices, onion slices, and cheese equally among mayonnaise-dressed bread slices.
Top with remaining bread slices, pesto side down; brush tops with butter.
Brush the bottom of the panini press with butter.
Add 2 sandwiches, close lid, and cook about 5 minutes or until lightly browned and cheese is melted.
Repeat to make the other two sandwiches.
Cut each sandwich in half and serve.
