Savory Turkey Bacon Ranch Panini Recipe

Make Turkey Bacon Ranch Panini with clear steps, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices of whole grain bread
  • 4 slices of turkey bacon
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/4 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 medium tomato sliced
  • Butter for grilling

Instructions

  • Begin by cooking the turkey bacon. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread. This will help achieve a golden, crispy crust when grilling.
  • On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, spread 2 tablespoons of ranch dressing each.
  • Layer the cooked turkey bacon evenly over the ranch dressing on each slice.
  • Add shredded cheddar cheese on top of the turkey bacon, followed by fresh spinach and tomato slices.
  • Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing out.
  • Preheat a panini press or a skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, place a heavy pan on top of the sandwiches to press them down.
  • Grill the paninis for about 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
  • Remove the paninis from the heat, let them cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve.
