Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices flatbread
- 8 oz sliced turkey
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by laying them out on a clean work surface. Ensure the turkey is thinly sliced and the provolone cheese is at room temperature for even melting.
- Lightly brush one side of each flatbread with olive oil, which will help create a golden, crispy exterior when grilling or toasting.
- Season the sliced turkey with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance its flavor.
- Place a large skillet or griddle pan over medium heat. Allow the surface to warm up for about 2-3 minutes.
- Lay the flatbread oil-side down on the heated surface. Quickly add sliced turkey to cover half of the flatbread.
- Layer provolone cheese slices over the turkey, allowing the cheese to start melting from the heat of the pan.
- Add fresh spinach leaves on top of the cheese, creating a vibrant and nutritious layer.
- Fold the other half of the flatbread over the ingredients, creating a half-moon or sandwich-style shape.
- Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the flatbread turns golden brown and the cheese is completely melted.
- Remove from heat, let cool for a minute, then slice diagonally and serve immediately while warm and crispy.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, prepare all your ingredients in advance. Slice the turkey and let the provolone cheese come to room temperature before you start cooking.
- Crispy Perfection: For an extra crispy flatbread, consider using a panini press if you have one. It will ensure even grilling on both sides!
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to add other ingredients like roasted red peppers or olives for an extra burst of flavor.
- Don’t Rush the Heat: Make sure your skillet is adequately heated before adding the flatbread. This will help achieve that golden-brown crust you’re aiming for.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve your turkey melts with a side of marinara sauce for dipping or a fresh salad to balance out the richness.
