A crispy, melty twist on the Southern classic, this Kentucky Hot Brown Panini layers turkey, bacon, tomatoes, and cheese into a perfectly pressed sandwich.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices whole wheat bread
  • 8 slices turkey breast
  • 2 tomatoes, sliced
  • 8 slices crispy cooked bacon (or turkey bacon)
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Assemble the Sandwich

  • On one slice of bread, place:
    • 2 slices turkey breast
    • 2 slices tomato
    • 2 slices bacon
    • 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
    • 1 slice cheddar cheese

2. Close the Sandwich

  • Top with another slice of bread to form a sandwich.

3. Cook

  • Place in a preheated panini press.
  • Cook for 3–4 minutes, until:
    • Bread is golden and crisp
    • Cheese is fully melted

4. Repeat

  • Continue assembling and cooking remaining sandwiches.
