This panini was so easy to make and it was delicious! I used store-bought pesto and it still turned out great. The arugula added a nice peppery flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of turkey sandwiches, but this one changed my mind. The pesto added so much flavor and moisture to the meat. I'll definitely be making this again.
