This is one of the very first recipes I shared on OurBestBites.com back in 2008! I had gone out to lunch with my husband and grandma at a cafe in Utah where I ordered a similar sandwich and wanted to try making it at home. Mine is flavor-packed with my favorite sandwich spread and layered with cheese, smoked turkey, fresh tomato and tangy artichokes. It’s great on its own, or paired with your favorite soup!
Ingredients Needed
- Sturdy rustic sourdough bread – something from the bakery section is usually great. You want something soft and chewy, but sturdy enough to hold up to grilling. It doesn’t have to be sourdough, though that’s my favorite!
- Mayo or my Garlic Herb Sandwich Spread – obviously I prefer the flavor from my punched up sandwich spread, but regular mayo would work in a pinch.
- Good quality smoked or oven roasted sliced turkey
- Tomato
- Marinated artichoke hearts
- Mild white cheese – like havarti or swiss
How to make a grilled turkey and artichoke sandwich
- Spread both sliced of bread with mayo or sandwich spread.
- Layer slices of cheese on each half.
- Add turkey, artichokes and tomatoes to one slice and crack some black pepper on top.
- Place halves together and grill in a buttered skillet or panini press until golden brown.

Wow! I just made this for dinner and it was amazing! My husband and I went to an Italian Restaurant where I ordered a panini similar to this and it wasn’t good at all. This definitely will be in my recipe index for quick, easy, and excellent!
Thank you! thank you! They took that sandwhich off the menu and I have been craving it ever since.
Ok so I made a knock off version of this sammie cuz when I went to make it I realized that I didn’t have anymore turkey or artichokes..ugh…but I already made the “magic mayo” before I realized this…so we had a tomato fresh out of our garden, peppericinni, magic mayo, grilled cheese sammies 😉 and let me just say that I know it was amazing because of the mayo!
Couldn’t of done it w/ o you ladies and your delicious ideas! Keep them coming!
Definitely the best sandwhich I’ve ever made at home! Made it for dinner, and then lunch the next day. Yum!
