Begin by gathering your ingredients for the Turkey Basil Pesto Panini. Slice the fresh mozzarella into thin rounds.

Spread basil pesto over one side of each slice of bread. Layer sliced turkey evenly over the pesto, followed by mozzarella slices.

Heat your skillet or panini press over medium heat. Brush the outside of your assembled panini with olive oil or melted butter.

Place the sandwich on the preheated skillet or panini press, grilling for about 4–5 minutes on each side.

Check for doneness after about 8–10 minutes; the bread should be crispy and golden with melted mozzarella.

Remove the panini from the grill, let it rest for a minute, then slice diagonally and serve warm.

After enjoying your panini, clean up your cooking equipment promptly to make your next cooking endeavor enjoyable.
