-
3 tablespoons
reduced-fat mayonnaise
-
2 tablespoons
nonfat plain yogurt
-
2 tablespoons
Parmesan cheese, shredded
-
2 tablespoons
fresh basil, chopped
-
1 teaspoon
lemon juice
-
8 slices
whole-wheat bread
-
8 ounces
reduced-sodium deli turkey, thinly sliced
-
8
tomato slices
-
2 teaspoons
canola oil
-
freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Have four 15-ounce cans and a medium skillet (not nonstick) ready by the stove.
- Combine mayonnaise, yogurt, Parmesan, basil, lemon juice and pepper in a small bowl. Spread about 2 teaspoons of the mixture on each slice of bread. Divide turkey and tomato slices among 4 slices of bread; top with the remaining bread.
- Heat 1 teaspoon canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place 2 panini in the pan. Place the medium skillet on top of the panini, then weigh it down with the cans. Cook the panini until golden on one side, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, flip the panini, replace the top skillet and cans, and cook until the second side is golden, 1 to 3 minutes more. Repeat with another 1 teaspoon oil and the remaining panini.
