Simple to Make Turkey and Bacon Panini

Simple to Make Turkey and Bacon Panini

Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices Oscar Mayer Center Cut Bacon or turkey bacon, see shopping tip
  • 4 slices Whole Grain Honey White Bread (Eating Right brand) or your favorite whole grain bread, see shopping tip
  • 4 teaspoons reduced-fat butter or Smart Balance Heart Light
  • 2 teaspoon spicy or yellow mustard
  • 2 teaspoon  Nancy’s Skinny Ranch Dressing or reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 4 ounces sliced turkey breast, cooked and thinly sliced
  • 4 thin slices fresh tomato
  • 2 slices reduced-fat cheese such as Havarti, Swiss, or mozzarella

Instructions
 

  • To cook the bacon: place on a microwave-safe plate two sheets of paper towels.  Spread on top of the paper towels 6 slices of bacon in a single layer.  Lay another sheet of paper towel on top of the bacon.  Cook in microwave until crisp (~ 4 to 5 minutes).
  • Spread 4 slices of bread with I teaspoon each of butter, flip over and spread 2 inside slices with mustard and the other 2 inside slices with ranch or mayo.
  • With the butter side on the outside, top the ranch side with the sliced turkey, tomato, bacon, and cheese.
  • Put the remaining slices of bread on top of the cheese, with the mustard side in.
  • Coat a nonstick pan with cooking spray.  Place the sandwiches in the pan and grill on med/high heat until golden brown (~3 minutes).  Flip sandwiches over and cook about 2 more minutes until golden brown.  If you have a Panini maker cook the sandwiches for only 3-4 minutes until golden.  The Panini maker cooks both sides at the same time.
  • Remove from heat, cut each sandwich in half.  Serve with carrot sticks and a fruit cup.
