Method

  1. Mash the avocado and mayonnaise together in a bowl until well combined.

  2. Preheat a panini sandwich press.

  3. Split the ciabatta rolls in half horizontally and brush the bottom of each roll with olive oil.

  4. Place the bottom halves of the rolls onto the panini press, olive oil side down.

  5. Layer each sandwich with a slice of provolone cheese, half of the spinach leaves, half of the sliced turkey breast, and a sliced roasted red pepper.

  6. Spread half of the avocado mixture onto the cut surface of each top half of the rolls.

  7. Place the top halves of the rolls onto the sandwiches.

  8. Brush the top of each roll with olive oil.

  9. Close the panini press and cook for about 5 to 8 minutes, until the bun is toasted and crisp, with golden brown grill marks, and the cheese has melted.

  10. If you don't have a panini press, you can use a heavy cast iron skillet or griddle with a heavy weight. Place the sandwich into the heated skillet or griddle, top with the heavy weight, and press down to crisp the sandwich. Flip and press the other side when the bread is toasted.
