Preparation

Step 1

1. In a small microwave-safe bowl, mix together the onions, vinegar, brown sugar and butter. Cook in microwave for 1-2 minutes, until onions are soft.

2. Spread the outside of sandwich thin, both top and bottom, with ½ teaspoon of butter on each. Split open and spread the inside of the bottom slice with mustard. On top of mustard, place turkey, cooked onions, tomato, spinach and top with cheese. Place remaining top piece of sandwich thin, butter side out.

3. To Make in Panini Maker or George Forman Grill:

Place in preheated Panini maker or George Foreman grill and cook for 3-4 minutes until cheese is melted and panini is golden brown.

4. To Make on Cooktop:

Coat a nonstick pan with coking spray. Add panini. Cover pan with lid and cook on medium-high heat about 2-3 minutes, until bottom is golden brown. Using a spatula, turn sandwich over. Flatten a little with the spatula. Cover and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden. Turn over again and cook, uncovered about 30 seconds more, until cheese is melted.

Makes 1 Panini  (this recipe can be doubled, tripled and so on.)
