Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ciabatta rolls medium
  • 6 –8 oz sliced turkey breast Hillshire Farm Naturals or similar
  • 2 –4 slices provolone cheese
  • ½ cup roasted red peppers sliced, patted dry
  • 2 tbsp basil pesto Barilla or homemade
  • Handful of spinach or arugula
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Slice ciabatta and lightly brush with olive oil. Toast until golden.
  2. Spread 1 tbsp pesto on bottom bread halves.
  3. Layer turkey slices, provolone cheese, roasted red peppers, and greens.
  4. Top with ciabatta lid, then heat in panini press (or skillet with weight) until cheese melts.
  5. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Don’t skip toasting ciabatta—otherwise it’s too chewy.
  • Pat dry roasted peppers to prevent sogginess.
  • Meal prep hack: keep ingredients separate, assemble fresh.
  • Cheese swaps: mozzarella or fontina work if you don’t like provolone.
