Smoked Turkey Panini

We used left over turkey my hubby smoked (if you don't have a smoker, get one, they are awesome. Meat is cooked in less time, has fantastic flavor, & is healthier for you!), however, you can certainly use lunch meat if that is what you have. You can also use any cheese you like, or turkey bacon in place of reg. Its all up to you!!

Thick sliced bread (we actually purchased a loaf of the cheesy bread from Panera)
Sliced Smoked Turkey
Sliced Cheese of Choice (we used sharp)
Cooked Bacon (we used ave. of 3 slices per sandwich)
1/4 cup mayo
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 T honey
1 t tarragon (use any herb you like, we are particular to tarragon)

Mix mayo, mustard, honey & tarragon together in a small bowl. Spread a nice amount on one slice of bread, top w/cheese, bacon, turkey & the top bread of your sandwich.
Spray your panini grill w/pam, place in sandwiches (we fit two at a time), press & let cook. I'm not sure how long it took, no more then 5 min, just take a peek after 3 & cook till bread is grilled to your preferred color.
No Panini grill? No problem...place sandwiches on sprayed cookie sheet, top w/another heavy duty sheet & press down before tossing into the oven at 375. This will take longer & may not press the sandwiches as much, but the idea is there & it will be just as yummy!

Serve alone w/chips or pair w/your favorite soup. We used betty crocker's cream of broccoli soup to round out our dinner...great way to get kids to eat broccoli even when they are not fans!!
