passionate for turkey panini |

This is one of my fast favorites--simple, flexible, and totally maximizes the effort-to-taste ratio. A little garlic and grilling transforms a simple sandwich into sublime. This is our go-to meal for hockey games and quick dinner. Turkey, veggie or sausage--really it's.

Roast tomatoes, but leave them a little "wet" for panini (i.e., don't let the tomato juice/oil evaporate from the pan). If you are using any of the add-ons, cook them while the tomatoes roast. Cook in a pan with a little olive oil and oregano and set aside.
Put one side of the bread into the oil/tomato mixture on the baking pan to coat the bread. Make sandwiches using turkey, cheese, whole basil leaves, roasted tomatoes and whatever add-ons you want, but keep the coated side of the bread on the *outside*. Heat a flat, non-stick pan and put the coated side of the bread on the bottom. Coat another slice of bread and put that slice, coated side *outside* on the top of the sandwich. Flip when the bread is brown and the cheese starts to melt. Use the spatula to smash it together. It is done when both slices of bread are nicely toasty and the cheese has melted to keep the sandwich together.
