George Foreman Grill Paninis


I tried something new tonight.  I don't have a panini press but I do have a George Foreman Grill that we received as a wedding gift almost twelve years ago (and which has been collecting dust lately).  It worked perfectly!  Maybe I'll be able to satisfy my frequent hankering for Zupas at home now.

These could be made any number of ways but here is what I used:

Boudin's Sourdough bread (Costco)

Avocado Aioli:
1/2 c. Greek yogurt
1 large ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
1 Tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
*Put ingredients in blender in order listed.  Blend until smooth.
 
Turkey
Mozarella Cheese
Tomatoes

Spread the aioli on one side of the bread.  Then layer the turkey, cheese and tomatoes.  Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over the top and then put the assembled sandwich on the grill and press the top down.  (You could also butter the outsides of the bread and sprinkle them with a little bit of garlic seasoning.)  Cook for about four minutes.  Cucumbers would have been delicious on this sandwich but we ate our last one yesterday!  Spouts or any other number of vegetables would have also been great additions.
