Sweet (And Spicy!) Smoked Turkey and Blackberry Panini

Last summer my friend Jaime and I had lunch at a little Irish restaurant near my house. They had this amazing panini that had blackberry and turkey topped with spicy giardiniera. It was such an amazing combination! I came home and created my own version--Sweet (And Spicy!) Smoked Turkey and Blackberry Panini
Here's What You Need: (For 1)
2 slices of hearty bread
2 tsps of blackberry preserves
2-3 slices smoked turkey
2 slices reduced fat provolone
2 TBS  Banana Peppers
2 TBS  hot giardiniera
Extra virgin olive oil
Here's What You Do:
Pulse  the banana Peppers and the giardiniera in the food processor until mixed well. Smooth onto one side of a piece of bread. Spread the blackberry preserves on the other piece of bread. Top with the cheese followed by the turkey and form the sandwich. Lightly brush the top and bottom of the sandwich with the olive oil. Put in the panini maker for five minutes or until golden. (You can also make it on a grill pan for about the same time, flipping once)
Kid Tip:
Simply leave off the peppers-Your kids will love the sweet and salty combination of the blackberry preserves and the turkey!

  1. I had to look up "giardiniera." Now that I know what it is I think I have used it before. Blackberry+turkey ... brilliant combination. Thanks for posting!
