INGREDIENTS:
8 thick slices of egg bread or whole-grain bread
2 tablespoons butter, softened
8 slices turkey
1 tablespoon walnuts, chopped
4 slices Havarti cheese
1/4 cup cranberry chutney
METHOD:
Butter one side of each bread slice. Turn 4 pieces butter-side-down on a work surface. Arrange 2 slices of turkey on each piece of bread. Sprinkle with walnut pieces. Top each with a slice of Havarti. Spread cranberry chutney on the unbuttered side of the remaining slices of bread and place the buttered side up.
Grill on a preheated panini grill or in a skillet until sandwiches are golden on both sides and the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.
VARIATIONS: Substitute turkey, Havarti cheese, and cranberry chutney with equal amounts of:
- Sliced ham, old white cheddar cheese, and honey mustard.
- Sliced roast beef, brie, and horseradish mayonnaise.
- Sliced roast pork, stilton, and apricot preserves.
YIELD: Makes 4 servings.
