12 LAYER TURKEY PESTO PANINI BREAD BOWL RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Make the pesto: In a food processor, combine the basil, garlic, pine nuts, and olive oil. Blend for 30 seconds, or until thick and saucy.
• Add the Parmesan and salt and blend for another 30 seconds, or until thoroughly combined.
• Cut the top off the loaf of bread. Use a serrated knife to cut a circle in the center of the bread, then use a large spoon to scoop out the inside. Try to keep bread in one piece.
• Use a rolling pin to roll the excess bread into one flat piece of bread. Spread melted butter on both side of the rolled out bread and bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Remove the toasted bread from the oven.
• Assemble the sandwich: Place bread bowl in an oven-safe pan. Spread pesto on the bottom of the inside of the bread bowl, then layer in half of the mozzarella slices, 4 slices of tomatoes, 5 slices of turkey, and 4 chopped slices of bacon.
• Top with the toasted bread and brush with pesto. Add the remaining bacon, turkey, tomato, and cheese. Finally, spread pesto on the bottom lid of the bread and over the cheese. Place the lid of bread on top of it and then press down with a heavy oven-safe pan.
• Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Enjoy!

ROAST TURKEY PANINI WITH, PESTO, ROASTED RED PEPPERS AND FONTINA

Steps:

• Arrange the slices of bread on a flat work surface and, using a small spoon, divide the pesto evenly among 1 side of each of the bread slices. Divide the turkey, roasted pepper strips, and fontina equally among 4 of the bread slices. Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread, pesto sides down, to form 4 sandwiches. Brush the outsides of each sandwich lightly with some of the olive oil. Heat a large skillet, griddle, or grill pan over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the sandwiches and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, pressing occasionally with a large metal spatula or the bottom of a small heavy saucepan, about 4 minutes per side. Remove sandwiches and transfer to a cutting board. Slice in half on the diagonal and serve immediately.

TURKEY PESTO CIAO PANINI

Steps:

• 1. Slice the onions, mushrooms & red peppers. Get the onions on sautee. I like to add some balsamic & vinegar dressing as I'm sauteeing them. Let them cook a bit.
• 2. Slice your sourdough bread lengthwise in half. Brush your Italian dressing or homemade balsamic & oil on the outer sides of bread. Let stand a few minutes.
• 3. After the onions are to your liking, add the mushrooms & get them nice & soft. Add your red peppers, stir, then add some minced garlic & a few diced basil leaves. Stir as needed.
• 4. Meanwhile, turn your bread over to the inside. I scooped some of the filling out, but be careful to leave enough in there so the sandwich doesn't poke through. Brush one side of the bread with pesto. Begin layering... Then layer turkey slices...
• 5. ..then the cheese....
• 6. ...then the pepperoni....
• 7. & add the sauteed veggies to the other bread slice. Carefully put these one of top of another. Cut in half like a sub.
• 8. Put this on your press & cook away. As it was getting a bit softer, I continued to press down on the handle every so often.
• 9. When it's done, remove & let sit for a few minutes for easier cutting, & slice however you wish. I sliced vertically so that no one was just getting the ends as their sandwich. :)
• 10. Top with more dressing or balsamic/oil or serve with little cups for dipping. I like tons of oil on my sandwiches -- my son does not, so I like the individual bowls of dressing.
