Turkey, Brie, and Cranberry Panini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons softened butter, plus more for focaccia
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 8 slices rosemary focaccia or other dense, soft-crumbed Italian bread
- 12 to 16 ounces thinly sliced roast turkey (or smoked turkey)
- 8 thick slices Brie (about 6 ounces)
- 1/2 cup whole cranberry sauce (see note)
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
- When the fat starts to sizzle, add the onion, thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring, until the onion slices are caramelized and golden, 12 to 14 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, and cool slightly.
- Heat a panini press to medium-high.
- To assemble the sandwich, butter one side of a focaccia slice and place it butter-side down on grill.
- Top with 3 or 4 ounces of turkey, a spoonful of onion, 2 slices Brie, and a slather of cranberry sauce.
- Top with the remaining slice of focaccia, butter the top, and place the sandwich on the grill.
- Carefully lower the grill over the top, to press the sandwich together neatly, and grill until golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Repeat to make the other sandwiches.
