Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise

  • 2 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt

  • 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste

  • 8 ounces thinly sliced reduced-sodium deli turkey

  • 8 tomato slices

  • 8 slices whole-wheat bread

  • 2 teaspoons canola oil

Directions

  1. Have four 15-ounce cans and a medium skillet (not nonstick) ready by the stove.

  2. Combine mayonnaise, yogurt, Parmesan, basil, lemon juice and pepper in a small bowl. Spread about 2 teaspoons of the mixture on each slice of bread. Divide turkey and tomato slices among 4 slices of bread; top with the remaining bread.

  3. Heat 1 teaspoon canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place 2 panini in the pan. Place the medium skillet on top of the panini, then weigh it down with the cans. Cook the panini until golden on one side, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, flip the panini, replace the top skillet and cans, and cook until the second side is golden, 1 to 3 minutes more. Repeat with another 1 teaspoon oil and the remaining panini.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
