Delicious Turkey Swiss Apple Panini

This sandwich would also be tasty with reduced-fat cheddar cheese. If you don’t happen to have arugula handy, use fresh spinach or leaf lettuce. Enjoy with a small tossed green salad for an amazing lunch. These Ham, Apple, and Swiss Paninis are the PERFECT sandwiches! It’s a great way to take advantage of the crisp, juicy apples this season offers.

I served this for lunch the other day along with a small tossed green salad and small fresh fruit bowl. My family loved the combination of flavors.

Ingredients:

• 8 slices whole-grain bread
• 3 Ounces of sliced turkey
• ¼ cup non-fat honey mustard
• 2 crisp apples, thinly sliced
• 6 ounces low-fat Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
• 1 cup arugula leaves
• Cooking spray

Instructions:

1. Preheat panini press over medium heat. If you don’t have a panini press, just use a non-stick skillet.

2. Lightly spread honey mustard evenly over each slice of bread. Layer apple slices, cheese, and arugula leaves over 4 slices of bread. Top each with remaining bread slices.

3. Lightly coat panini press with cooking spray. Grill each sandwich for 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese has melted and bread has toasted. Remove from pan and allow to cool slightly before serving.
