I found one of the best kept secrets at my grocery store. I found me some cajun turkey, friends. Did I just sound southern there, or was that just in my head?
Pretty sure I could eat my whole body weight in this sweet blessed turkey. #holyamazingnessbatman
Have you guys tried this stuff before? It’s like crack….but waaaay better for you. When I went to the store the other day, it was hiding in the deli behind the salami with no tag. It was seriously incognito. ANYWAYS, I was pushy, got me a sample and then bought 2 pounds. No joke. So, once I got home, the only logical thing to do was make a panini.
Basically, throw everything in between two slices of bread, slather in butter and press! Easy peasy.
I took a few extra photos for guidance if you attempt to make this, but really, it’s crazy simple.
First start out with some panini-worthy materials:
Oh and plug in your panini press to get it piping hot.
Build up your sandwich and coat the outside with buttuh. Lots of buttuh. I love buttuh.
Now, press that bad boy in one of these wonderful inventions! Loves it.
2 minutes later, you’ve got yourself a purdy lookin’ lunch!
See? My husband could make this that’s how easy it is! {No offense, honey! :)}
Hope you all have a great weekend! See you back here Monday for the start of my 12 days of Giveaways! BE EXCITED…

December 9, 2011 at 10:22 pmAhhh that looks delicious! I recently got a panini press, so I will be using it a lot more often! If your deli sells Dietz and Watson meats, try the buffalo style chicken…it’s amazing!

December 10, 2011 at 1:50 pmUmm, I think I need a panini maker for Christmas. And just fyi – if you’re lovin’ that cajun turkey, see if you can find the buffalo chicken. It too, is all kinds of awesome.

December 10, 2011 at 4:43 pmLove me some panini! I’ve never heard of Cajun turkey. I’ll have to check next time I’m at the deli. I know they have a tex mex turkey, and lately I have been on a buffalo turkey kick with some pepperjack cheese. Yum. Cajun I’ll need to give a try next time I’m there.
