Turkey BLT Panini with Provolone and Avocado. It has just the right amount of crunch and fresh veggies. It’s my kind of sandwich. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I was looking at Panini makers the other day since I’m on a Panini sandwich kick. I looked on Amazon and saw a few on a great sale. I also saw some George Forman Grills for sale in the Panini category….hmmm……<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
“The Mean, Lean, Grilling Machine”  from George Foreman. Let’s try making Paninis!  Fingers Crossed!!<\/p>\n

<\/a>
It looks similar to a panini maker, doesn’t it? Yes it does. Why buy one then? I’ll just see how it works on my grilled sandwiches.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
So I tried first to just make a grilled cheese panini sandwich. It worked great! Yummy! I just buttered the bread and slapped some cheese inside and laid it in the grill for 3 minutes or so. Both sides get done at the same time! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
So I decided to try it with a Turkey BLT with Avocado …..or Monte Cristo Sandwich it is sometimes called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I just LOVE this California Sourdough Bread I get from Smith’s Market. It is only $3.49 a bag and is really delicious for any kind of sandwiches or even just for buttered toast. I had some on hand so I used it for my Turkey BLT with Avocado. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I used turkey, bacon, avocado, provolone and tomato and just buttered the sourdough bread with butter on the outside. So EASY PEASY! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Ingredients for a Turkey BLT Panini <\/span><\/b>
2 Pieces of Sourdough Bread, buttered on outside only<\/span>
2 pieces of deli turkey<\/span>
1 slice of provolone<\/span>
1\/2 avocado sliced thinly<\/span>
slices of tomato<\/span>
2 slices of cooked bacon<\/span>
salt and pepper<\/span>

<\/b><\/span>Put sandwich together and place on the grill and close it. Wait 3 minutes and check for golden stripes and melty cheese. You may have to go another few minutes. Mine had a light on top, but I wasn’t sure if it was going to go off or not so I didn’t trust it. \ud83d\ude00 I know, I didn’t have faith in George after all……snicker……<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

But the grill DOES NOT DISAPPOINT!  Yummy Turkey BLT Panini with Avocado and Provolone cheese. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

This Hamilton Beach 25450 model Panini Press was only $29.00. I looked at Target and Walmart for Paninis too.  But I decided that I really don’t need one after all! I’ll just use the George Foreman Grill. It’s been sittin’ around NOT getting a workout for WAY too long anyways! Happy Panini making! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
