Turkey, Cranberry, Brie and Bacon Panini

By Kate Morgan Jackson

Jump to Recipe

Is there ANYTHING better than Thanksgiving leftovers? Especially when they are turned into this delectable turkey, cranberry, Brie and bacon panini.  

turkey panini

 

I’m hoping you have tons of Thanksgiving leftovers, because they are the absolute BEST kind of leftovers! And if you did not get your fair share, this sandwich is delicious enough to go get some new turkey to work with.  I promise you will be all kinds of thankful – Let’s make it!

Here’s the deal. You fire up the panini maker — get that baby good and hot. (And if you don’t have a panini maker, two heavy frying pans will work just fine – see the note in the recipe!). Brush the outside of two pieces of bread with olive oil, flip them over and layer as follows:

  1. First piece of bread, oil side down
  2. Turkey slices
  3. Cranberry Sauce 
  4. Slices of Brie cheese
  5. Bacon
  6. The other piece of bread, oil side up.

Put your sammie in the panini maker and press it down. Leave it in there for about 3 minutes. This will make the cheese all melted and wonderful, and will heat up the other stuff and toast the bread.

Now take it out, let it rest for a minute or so, and cut it into triangles. That’s it — you are ready for turkey panini heaven.

I think that’s all I have to say about this one. It’s one of those simple yet perfect recipes that you just have to make and see for yourself. Happy Turkey Sandwich!

Description

Is there ANYTHING better than Thanksgiving leftovers? Especially when they are turned into this delectable turkey, cranberry, Brie and bacon panini.  


Ingredients

  • 4 slices country bread
  • 4 ounces sliced turkey
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
  • 2 ounces sliced Brie cheese
  • 2 slices bacon, cooked and cut in half
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat panini maker to medium high (see note if you don’t have a panini maker)
  2. Brush one side of bread slices with olive oil (this will be the outside)
  3. Lay bread slice oil side down on work surface. Layer with turkey, then cranberry sauce, then cheese, then bacon. Top with second slice of bread, oiled side on the outside
  4. Place in panini maker and press down. Cook for 3 minutes.
  5. Remove, let cool for a minute, slice in quarters and serve hot.

Notes

If you don’t have a panini-maker (and here is a link to the one I have), you can still make this!  Put the sandwich into a skillet, and then find another skillet – the heaviest one you have – and press it on top of the sandwich.  Flip it after 2 minutes or so, put the skillet back on top, and cook until both sides are golden.  Yum!
