Ingredients

4 slices Italian bread such as Ciabatta or Pugliese
butter softened
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons oil packed sun-dried tomatoes chopped
4 slices Swiss cheese
2 slices prosciutto
2 slices roasted turkey breast (between ¼-½ inch thick)
½ ripe avocado thinly sliced

Instructions

Preheat panini grill to medium-high heat (375°F). In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sun-dried tomatoes.
On one side of each slice of bread, spread with butter. On the other side, evenly spread the sun-dried tomato-mayonnaise.
For the bottom half of each sandwich, lay a piece of Swiss cheese down.
Wrap a slice of prosciutto around each slice of turkey breast and place it on top of the Swiss cheese.
Add avocado, and top it off with another piece of Swiss cheese. Close the sandwich with the top half of Italian bread, butter side up.
Place the sandwich on a greased panini grill and close the lid. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

No panini press? You can use a heavy skillet or grill pan. Butter the outsides of the bread, place sandwich in pan, press down with another heavy pan or foil-wrapped brick, flip after 3-4 minutes, and cook until cheese is melted.

Swaps or additions: Feel free to use sourdough or focaccia bread and Gruyère or fontina are great alternatives to Swiss. Shredded turkey works just as well as sliced, and a spoonful of cranberry sauce is delicious, too. If you want a little heat, spread a bit of Dijon mustard or chipotle mayo on the bread.
