Turkey Pesto Panini

TOTAL TIME:15 min

This is one of my all-time favorite recipes! There’s just something so mouth-watering about a well-made turkey sandwich. It always sounds good to me…add pesto and arugula, and you’ve totally got me. For this recipe, you can either use homemade pesto or purchase a jar of it at your local grocery store. Either way, you’ll salivate over this fresh, summery panini—complete with melted cheese. I’ve gotta go make one right now!
