Smokin' Turkey Panini

I decided to try my hand at making my own panini recipe today.  My nephew, who I tested it on, thought it was tasty. So, I am sharing it with you.

We will call it Smokin Turkey Panini.

I used the following ingredience:
     Wheat Bread
     Deli Sliced Turkey
     Valida Onions
     Canned Mushrooms
     Mayo
     Mozzarella Cheese
     Smoked Applewood Rub by Pampered Chef (My favorite rub!)

Here are some of the tools I used as well as My Grill Pan and Press and Saute Pan.

I sliced the Vidala Onions on my Ultimate Mandolin on the thinnest slicing option.

I melted some butter in the saute pan and started them cooking. MMMM! I love Vidala Onions!

While those were cooking I shredded my cheese. A little helpful hint (I forgot to do) stick soft cheeses like mozzarella in the freezer for about  10 minutes before shredding for slicing and it will be easier to do.

 In a bowl, stir together about a half a cup of Mayo, a teaspoon of Rub and shredded cheese. When the onions are translucent ad the can of mushrooms, drained. and heat for a few minutes.

Now, to assemble your panini. Butter both top and bottom piece of bread. I put 2 slices of turkey lunchmeat, then the onion/mushroom mix and then the mayo/cheese mix. Put in your warm grill pan. Grill on each side for a few minutes. I was able to make 4 sandwiches.

 Enjoy!

Rainy day

Well, today is a rainy day. Which means I don't have a lot of drive to do anything around the house. But I will ...maybe.

I have definitely been not wanting to do my chores. Instead, I have been crocheting. And a little tatting. Of course, I have to practice my tatting. My tatting teacher is having me do a demo at a local museum over Memorial Day weekend. So, I need to practice ( Not that I would need an excuse to practice.)

Well, God bless and have a great day!
