Ingredients

  • 8 slices sourdough bread
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 -2 tablespoon chipotle chile in adobo, pureed
  • 8 slices cooked bacon
  • 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 lb sliced deli turkey or 1 lb chopped cooked turkey
  • 4 slices monterey jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (or less)

Method

  • Preheat a panini grill (If you co not have a panini grill this can be done in a skillet or on your outdoor grill).
  • Stir together mayonnaise and chipotle chile sauce in a small bowl.
  • Stir half of the chipotle sauce in with the turkey.
  • Spread one side of each slice of sourdough with remaining chipotle sauce. Layer bottom halves with equal amounts turkey, onion, bacon, tomato and cheese. Top with remaining bread slices, forming 4 sandwiches.
  • Gently press sandwiches together with your hand. Brush both outer sides of sandwiches with olive oil; you will probably not use an entire 1/4 cup of olive oil.
  • Grill paninis about 5 minutes in the preheated grill, or until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted. Or heat them over medium-low heat, covered, in a large skillet for about 4 minutes on each side, until bread is toasted on both sides and sandwich is heated throughout.
