MAKES 2 SERVINGS

¼ cup whole-berry cranberry sauce

2 to 3 teaspoons prepared
horseradish

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

4 large (

1/2 -inch thick) slices
ciabatta bread

4 (

 3/8 -inch thick) slices cooked turkey breast or deli turkey

Salt and pepper

4 slices provolone cheese

4 slices bacon, crisply cooked

1½ tablespoons olive oil

Combine cranberry sauce and horseradish, stirring well. Spread mayonnaise on one side each slice of bread. Spread cranberry-horseradish sauce on 2 slices bread; top each sandwich with 2 turkey slices and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange 2 cheese slices on each sandwich; top with 2 bacon slices. Cover with tops of bread, mayonnaise side down.

Brush tops and bottoms of sandwiches with olive oil. Cook on panini press 3 minutes, or until cheese begins to melt and bread is toasted (see Note). Serve hot. Garnish with salad greens, if desired.

Note: If you don’t have a panini press, cook sandwiches in a skillet and place another heavy skillet topped with cans over sandwiches to press them.
