Raspberry-Chipotle Turkey Melt is my recipe of the day with the blogging group From Our Family Table.
We get together weekly to post on a variety of topics, and this week’s focus is on panini and sandwiches. I’ve done some new photos on an old favorite which I made a few years back for a King’s Hawaiian contest (which I also won a nice prize).
Although I did use Hawaiian bread on this, you can use any bread you like, especially if it is a sweeter bread such as Hawaiian or any type of brioche. The sweetness pairs nicely with the spicy and fruity components of the raspberry- chipotle sauce.
Easily made on a panini press machine or in a griddle pan it really does come together in just minutes and is perfect for a lunch or sandwich based supper (which I do quite a lot actually).
