If you crave bold flavors in foods,mySpicy Southwestern Turkey Paninirecipe is for you!
When Boar’s Head invited me to participate in theirBoar’s Head® Boldest Bracket Challenge featuring theirBoar’s Head Brand® Bold® line of products, I didn’t hesitate for a second. You can’t go wrong with a sandwich full of bold and spicy flavors and I knew just what I wanted to compete within the challenge.
My sandwich for thechallengeis my Spicy Southwestern Turkey Panini. It’s spicy, it’s cheesy, and it’s definitely bold. I know you’ll love it, so that’s why I’m asking for your vote in theBoar’s Head Boldest Bracket Challenge on March 7.
If you vote for my sandwich and it wins against the other sandwiches, you’ll have achance to win one of these awesome prizes:
- Round 1: (8) Boar’s Head Bold t-shirts
- Round 2: (4) $50 gift card to purchase Boar’s Head Bold products
- Round 3: (2) $100 gift card to purchase Boar’s Head Bold products
AND! For the finale, the big prize is an iPad Air, which includes a custom Boar’s Head case and $500 gift card to cater your game-watching party with Boar’s Head products. I know you want to win all that!
If you are wondering why I think this is a winning recipe, I’m happy to explain. First, I used 4slices of Boar’s Head Brand Blackened Oven Roasted Turkey Breast per sandwich. It has a HUGE punch of flavor that you’re going to love, plus the turkey is seriously one of the best I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot!)
It also features 4 slices of Boar’s Head Brand 3 Pepper Colby Jack® Cheese. This cheese is out of this world. It melts beautifully in this panini, but also increases the bold flavor even more.
To give this panini another element flavor, the OUTSIDE of the bread is spread with Boar’s Head Brand Fiery Chipotle Gourmaise™. This is stuff crazy good and by spreading it on the outside, it bakes right into the sourdough, giving it extra crustiness and another kick of boldness.
Of course, I could stop there and this panini would be amazing, but I decided to elevate this panini to the king of all sandwiches by adding in some mashed avocado (with cilantro and lime mixed in), plus some beautiful tomato slices.
So what do you say? I’d love your vote when my panini goes live on March 7 in the Boar’s Head® Boldest Bracket Challenge. If you want a reminder on that day, be sure to follow me on Facebook and/or Twitter as I’ll be posting some reminders in those place. And leave me a comment if you do too…I’d love to say thank you!
Here’s the full recipe — be sure to add these ingredients to your grocery list so you can enjoy mySpicy Southwestern Turkey Panini this week.

This panini looks so delicious! I LOVE the Boars Head blackened turkey! Have you tried their smoked gouda?! It absolutely melts in your mouth. I don’t have a panini press, but this is seriously making me want to go out and get one. I’ve added this to my “must make” list. Thank you so much for sharing

You don’t need a panani press. You can do it in a frying pan one side at a time. You take something heavy. I use a cast iron pan and press the sandwich into the frying pan. You can line the heavy thing with foil if you don’t want it touching your food. Flip and repeat on the other side.
