As promised...

Turkey Panini with Onion-Cranberry Marmalade



4 slices ¾ inch thick bread

vegetable oil

4 slices Havarti cheese

4 ounces thinly sliced deli mesquite turkey (6 slices)

Onion Cranberry Marmalade (see below)

¼ small Granny Smith apple, cut into eight thin slices



1. Lightly spray one side of bread slices with oil; arrange bread, oil side down, on cutting board. Top two bread slices with half of the cheese, turkey, marmalade and apple slices. Top with remaining cheese and bread slices, oil side up.

2. Heat grill pan over medium low heat 5 minutes. Place sandwiches onto pan; top with grill press. Cook 3 – 4 minutes or until grill marks appear and cheese is melted, turning once.

Onion Cranberry Marmalade:

Pour 2 tablespoons hot water over ¼ cup sweetened dried cranberries in prep bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in sauté pan over medium heat; add 1 cup thinly sliced onion. Cook and stir 5 minutes or until onion softens and begins to caramelize. Add 2 tablespoons cider vinegar; stir to loosen browned bits from bottom of pan. Add 2 tablespoons orange marmalade, cranberries and any liquid from soaking. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat; cool slightly.
