Recipe Summary Grilled Turkey Asparagus Pesto Paninis
These are fast, yet tasty sandwiches and are best on the grill! The oatmeal bread really gives these paninis great flavor, but you could use another type of hearty bread as well. My husband and I love them in the summer when the asparagus and basil are in season. Serve with a side of coleslaw for a satisfying crunchy side dish.Ingredients | Grilled Turkey Wings2 cups chopped fresh basil½ cup grated Parmesan cheese¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil2 garlic clovescoarse salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste¼ cup pine nuts8 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed, or more to taste2 tablespoons butter, softened4 slices soft oatmeal bread (such as Pepperidge Farm®)4 slices provolone cheese¼ pound sliced deli turkey meatDirectionsBlend basil, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender until smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
