Transform four simple ingredients into a flavor-packed turkey panini. It’s the perfect meal for busy nights when you’ve been on the go, or when you’re serving dinner on the tailgate of a truck!
This easy recipe is one of my quick meal go-to’s and these turkey panini are about as simple as you can get.

Even better, they can be grilled ahead of time, eaten at room temperature and they’ll beat a boring sandwich any day of the week.
Try packing one in your lunch and you’ll see what I mean.
Only four ingredients are required – store-bought pesto, ciabatta rolls, turkey, and provolone cheese.
Variation: If you’re not a fan of provolone, use whatever cheese you like on your panini sandwich – cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella. You get the idea.
Spread about a tablespoon of pesto on the top of your roll. Add deli turkey, then a slice of cheese. Top with the other roll half and cook on your stovetop.
You don’t need a fancy panini sandwich maker for this delicious creation, either!
I use a grill pan with a weighted press , but you can even weigh the panini down with a pan and something heavy on top, like canned tomatoes!
Cook over medium heat until cheese is nice and gooey and the outside is toasty!!
This is great right off the grill or cooled and packed in a lunchbox!
