Active Time: 25 min
Total Time: 25 min
Servings: 4

3 Tbsp reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 Tbsp nonfat plain yogurt
2 Tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
1 tsp lemon juice
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
8 slices whole-wheat bread
8 oz thinly sliced reduced-sodium deli turkey
8 tomato slices
2 tsp canola oil

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

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.

Heat 1 teaspoon 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
weight 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.
