2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 cup prepared pesto

8 oz. smoked or oven baked turkey breast, sliced 1/4-inch thick

I cup roughly chopped roasted red peppers

8 thin slices provolone

Instructions

Divide butter between ciabatta halves, and place butter side down on a large cast iron skillet over medium heat.

Let cool slightly, and spread pesto on bread halves.

Place assembled sandwiches in a large cast iron skillet.

Top with a smaller cast iron skillet and press down.

Heat the sandwiches over medium heat for 4 minutes.

Flip the sandwiches, and press down again. Heat for an additional 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the filling is piping hot.

Panini Instructions: Grill the sandwich in a panini press, set to 400 degrees for 3 minutes, flip, and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining sandwiches if working in batches.
