Chef's Note

The ground turkey in this panini is seasoned with Mediterranean herbs to create a flavorful patty that pairs beautifully with the melted cheese and vegetables. For the best results, cook the turkey until just done - overcooking can make it dry. If you prefer a spicier sandwich, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the turkey mixture before cooking. This recipe works great with leftover cooked turkey as well - simply reheat it with the seasonings before assembling the sandwich.
