Jerk Turkey Panini with Sundried Tomato Mayo

Have you ever tried Boar’s Head Jerk Turkey before?  OMG!  If you haven’t then now is the time.  I can only find it at Publix and this turkey is spicy with a kick.  It is so yummy especially when its added in a sandwich.  Not just any sandwich but a panini that is filled with melted cheese, spinach, lots of bacon and a out of this world sun-dried tomato mayo.  I’m drooling as I share it with you.

As you all know my husband and I are expecting our third child and I can honestly say that I haven’t had weird cravings or been dying for anything in particular.  The one thing that I do find myself eating a lot of are sandwiches, especially panini’s.  Weird… huh!  For example when I first made this panini I think I ate for four days straight for lunch.  I don’t know why but it was that good!

I think this mayo plays a big part in too, I never used to be a fan for just plain ol mayo but this one has a great flavor when combined with chopped up sun-dried tomatoes.

Trust me the next time you have a hankering for a panini, pick up some Boar’s Head Jerk Turkey and make this mayo, you can add it to anything you want!

YUM!!!!! 😉

Jerk Turkey Panini with Sundried Tomato Mayo

Print Recipe

• Yield: 4 sandwiches 1x

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 8–12 slices Cooked Bacon
• 8 slices thick-cut Crusty Bread
• 1/2 pound Swiss Cheese, _thinly sliced _
• 1/2 pound Boars Head Jerk Turkey, _thinly sliced _
• 3 cups Baby Spinach
• Butter, for spreading

Sun-dried Tomato Mayo:

• 1/2 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes, packed in oil, patted dry and minced
• 1/2 cup Mayonnaise

Instructions

1. Cook bacon until crisp. Once finished cooking, drain cooked bacon on a paper towel lined plate.
2. In a small bowl, combine the sun-dried tomatoes and mayonnaise.
3. Lightly spread butter over one side of each bread. Lay the butter-sides down on a cutting board or work area. Spread each slice with the sun-dried tomato mayonnaise. Layer half of the cheese on 4 slices of bread then top with turkey, bacon, spinach, and remaining cheese.
4. Top with remaining bread, butter side up.
5. Cook the sandwiches on a panini press, skillet or grill pan heated on medium heat for one minute prior to cooking. I use my handy panini press and that allows me to place 2 sandwiches (depending on the size of the sandwich) on the press.
6. Cook the sandwiches for about 4-5 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Serve immediately.
