Peppered Turkey Panini with Apples, Brie, & Peach Preserves

I love warm and toasty sandwiches, especially in the winter, so I decided to make this panini with some of my favorite ingredients. It was so easy to make and you don't have to have a panini maker. I used my cast iron grill pan and used my other cast iron pan to press it down.  It came out perfect and was ready in 10 minutes! I served it with my Baked Spicy & Smoky Sweet Potato Fries.

1 small loaf ciabatta bread
1/4 lb peppered turkey
1/2 of a green apple, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons peach preserves
4 1/2in strips of brie, from a wedge

Spray your panini maker or grill pan with non-stick cooking spray and heat over medium heat.  Half ciabatta loaf and then slice each half lengthwise.  Lightly drizzle the outside of the tops and bottoms of the ciabatta bread.  Top each bottom half with 1 1/2 tablespoons peach preserves.  Top each sandwich evenly with turkey, then apple slices, then brie and ciabatta top. Carefully lay sandwiches in grill pan and press firmly with another heavy pan for 2 minutes or until nice grill marks form and cheese begins to melt.  Flip each sandwich and press again with pan for another 2 minutes. Remove and place on a cutting board.  Slice crosswise. e.d.bm! :)
