Leftover Turkey Panini: Turkey Cuban Panini

November 26, 2009

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
My second of three panini ideas to use up that leftover turkey – Turkey Cuban Panini - was actually inspired by Bobby Flay, my off-and-on chef crush. I had the chance to meet him about seven years ago on a visit to Mesa Grill in New York City. When [...]

Leftover Turkey Panini: Turkey-Apple Salad Melt Panini

November 24, 2009

As promised, I’ve got three more leftover Thanksgiving turkey panini ideas for you! I say “three more” because they are in addition to the three I brought you last year:

Pulled Turkey Cranberry BBQ Sliders
Prosciutto-Wrapped Turkey, Avocado & Swiss Panini
Turkey, Cranberry & Havarti Panini

Cheese, Please!…Emmental

June 23, 2008

In my recent Panini Happy reader survey, I asked what your favorite sandwich ingredients were. Would you believe how many of you responded, “Cheese, cheese and more cheese!”? Wow! Well, I love cheese too. Although sandwiches don’t have to contain cheese to be deemed “panini”, you’ve probably noticed that pretty much all of mine do.
So [...]
