Italian Turkey Panini

Turkey is a versatile meat that can be added to nearly any meal to provide lean, healthy protein. While it’s a staple for special occasions, turkey can make even a basic sandwich into a feast. This recipe features an Italian touch that turns the ordinary into extraordinary.

Most turkeys are fed a diet rich in soybean meal, which provides the protein they need to grow healthy and strong. South Dakota soybean farmers grow high-quality soybeans that are used to feed livestock of all kinds here at home and all over the world.
