Similar to one of my favorite selections at Panera Bread restaurant--this one will work for lunch as is with a few carrot-sticks on the side OR add a cup of soup or small salad for delicious dinner-time fare. I don't have a panini-maker--so my two large cast-iron frying pans get called into action.

[email protected]I wasn't a huge fan of this panini. The roasted turkey was a bit dry, and the artichoke hearts were bland. The pesto and cheese helped to improve the flavor, but overall it was just an average sandwich.

[email protected]This panini was amazing! The combination of roasted turkey, artichoke hearts, pesto, and cheese was perfect. The bread was perfectly toasted and the flavors all came together perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

[email protected]I thought this panini was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland, and the bread was a bit too dry. I think it could have been improved with some more flavorful fillings, like sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers.

[email protected]This panini was a bit too messy for my taste. The fillings kept falling out of the bread, and it was hard to eat. The flavor was good, but I think I would have preferred it in a wrap or on a different type of bread.

[email protected]This panini was a bit too heavy for my taste. The roasted turkey and artichoke hearts were both delicious, but the combination of the cheese, pesto, and arugula was a bit overwhelming. I think I would have preferred it with just the turkey, artichoke
