Smoked Turkey & Artichoke Panini

This is a great sandwich. If you have a panini press and love turkey like I do, I highly suggest making this for lunch or a quick dinner.

Ingredients...

• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 8 slices rustic sourdough bread
• 3/4 pound thinly sliced smoked turkey
• 2 cups (loosely packed) spinach leaves
• 8 slices Swiss cheese
• 1 7-ounce jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and halved lengthwise
• 2 plum tomatoes, sliced
• Extra-virgin olive oil

Directions...

1. Place the mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, and basil in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Spread the flavored mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice. Layer the turkey on 4 bread slices and top each with spinach, cheese, artichokes, and tomatoes. Cover with the remaining bread slices, with the mayonnaise side facing down. Lightly brush both sides of each sandwich with olive oil.
2. Heat a panini press or panini pan, or prepare the grill to medium-high. Place the sandwiches in the press or pan or on the grill. Cover and cook until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden-brown, about 5 minutes if using a panini press, or 5 minutes per side if using a grill. Serve immediately.
