Spicy Turkey, Apple and Spinach Panini Recipe
What's not to like about thinly sliced apples, smoked turkey, spinach and cheddar layered between spicy mayo smeared multigrain bread and grilled until toasty and melty?
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons reduced-fat chipotle mayonnaise
- 4 slices (1-1/2 ounces each) multigrain bread
- 16 very thick apple slices
- 6 ounces thinly sliced smoked deli turkey breast
- 1 cup loosely packed baby spinach
- 2 slices (1 ounce each) reduced-fat cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Spread 1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice. Top 2 of the bread slices evenly with apple slices, turkey, spinach and cheddar. Top with remaining 2 bread slices mayonnaise side down.
- Lightly spray sandwiches with olive oil non-stick spray.
- Spray a large ridged grill pan with olive oil non-stick spray and set over medium-high heat.
- Place the sandwiches in the pan and top with another heave skillet to weigh them down.
- Cook until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden and crispy, 2-3 minutes on each side. Or grill each sandwich in a panini press.
- Cut each sandwich in half before serving.

(Must be logged into WW on a smartphone or tablet.) 4 SmartPoints (Green plan) 3 SmartPoints (Blue plan) 3 SmartPoints (Purple plan) 6 PointsPlus (Old plan) To add more spicy flavor to the sandwiches, use peppery arugula instead of spinach. I made my own chipotle mayonnaise by stirring a little chipotle tabasco sauce into reduced fat mayo. And used a combination of baby spinach and arugula instead of only spinach because it’s what was in the fridge. Since 1/2 sandwich is considered a serving, these panini are meant to be made with larger, 1-1/2 ounce slices of bread. You could substitute 2 slices of light bread and eat an entire sandwich for the same Points, if you prefer.
