Tomato, Avocado, Provolone, Turkey Paninis


So here goes, my first post about my latest cooking endeavor. Last night, we kept things fairly simple and (with the help of my Nana's panini maker) had nice, homemade sandwiches for dinner. They turned out wonderfully and were quite delicious if I do say so myself. While they would probably be better on a lunch menu instead of for dinner, they were pretty quick and easy to make for a filling meal. It's not a complex recipe, either (see below)... Enjoy!

TOMATO, AVOCADO, PROVOLONE, and TURKEY PANINIS

Weight Watcher Points Plus:
Light bread, 1 cheese slice, 2 oz. turkey, 1/4 avocado, tomato = 6+
Artisan bread, 1 cheese slice, 4 oz. turkey, 1/4 avocado, tomato = 11+

* Bread may be substituted for less points to lighten the dinner, and more veggies may be added to bulk up the sandwich without adding points *

Ingredients:
  • Artisan bread (or any bread of your choosing, really)
  • Reduced-fat provolone cheese slices
  • Low sodium deli turkey
  • Avocado, sliced
  • Tomato, sliced
  • Optional sides: 
    • Soup
    • Chips
    • Carrots/other vegetables
    • Fruit cups
    • Pickles











Directions:
1. Place all ingredients between two bread slices.
2. Put sandwich in panini maker and cook until slightly golden brown or until cheese starts to melt.
3. Garnish with a pickle, fruit, soup or any other optional side.
4. Eat and enjoy!
