Smoked Turkey Brie and Apple Panini

from Mels via my Mom

Ingredients

• Artisan, sourdough or french bread, cut into desired slices
• Shaved or sliced smoked turkey
• 4 ounces Brie cheese, wax removed and cut into 1/4-inch slices
• 1 apple, cored and cut into thin slices (I used a Gala apple)
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced into half moons

Directions

1. In a small saucepan, melt 1 teaspoon oil over medium heat. When hot, add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and beginning to caramelize, 10-12 minutes. Set aside.
2. Place a single layer of brie on one slice of the bread. Top with sliced turkey, apples, caramelized onions and finally with another layer of brie. Place the other slice of bread on top of the sandwich. Preheat a skillet or indoor grill pan to medium heat. Place sandwich in the pan and top with a heavy skillet or panini press (I have a cast iron panini press I use with my indoor grill pan). Grill 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.
