Turkey, Brie, and Pear Panini


I almost forgot to post this recipe! This is the last of the "Thanksgiving leftovers". Thick-sliced turkey breast roasted fresh in your own kitchen makes for the best sandwich. But since Thanksgiving has past, visiting your deli counter would be second best (and is much more appealing than pre-packaged "lunch meats"). You get the enjoyment of watching your selection shaved right in front of you, exactly to your specifications. You know they didn't infuse the packaging with any mystery ingredients and you don't have to wonder how long it's been sitting on that shelf. It doesn't keep as long, but it sure tastes better!

INGREDIENTS
2 slices whole wheat bread
roasted turkey breast, thinly sliced
Brie, thinly sliced
Bartlett pear (or Granny Smith apple), thinly sliced
whole grain Dijon or honey mustard

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat grill pan or panini press to medium-high heat. Spread mustard one slice of bread. Top with turkey, brie, and pear (or apple) slices. Butter the outside of the sandwich or spray the preheated pan with cooking spray. Grill until the outside is crisp and golden brown and the cheese has melted. Serve warm.

Makes 1 panini.
