Grilled Turkey And Cheddar Sandwiches With Mango Chutney

Having the ingredients for last night's dish still not completely used up, and my husband having later hours tonight, I thought this panini would be a good solution. It uses the ingredients and it is quick to make late when he gets home.  It was very tasty, not as good as last night's dinner, but a very fast, tasty, and somewhat different dinner.  I think  the use of naan as panini bread is a fabulous idea, and I am now in love with Major Grey's Mango Chutney.  Paninis are a great way  to have a fast hot meal that can be varied almost infinitely.

Grilled Turkey And Cheddar Sandwiches With Mango Chutney
2 c  grated sharp Cheddar
1/4 c  finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 c  Major Grey’s mango chutney
4    naan breads
12 oz sliced turkey breast
1    Tbs. unsalted butter,melted
1/8 t  ground cumin
[Note: Indian flavors meet panini sandwiches with delicious results.
Naan is slightly puffy Indian-style flatbread. Other substantial
flatbreads may be  substituted, but avoid super-thin tortillas and
lavash, which won ]
Tip: If you dont have a panini or sandwich press, you can use a
nonstick grill pan or skillet. Put a heavy pan on top of the sandwiches
as they cook to press them, and flip once.
Heat a panini or sandwich press according to the manufacturers
instructions. (Alternatively, heat a nonstick grill pan over medium-
high heat.)
While the press is heating, combine the cheese and cilantro in a small
bowl and stir until well blended. Spread the chutney on one half of
each of the naan breads. Top with the turkey. Spoon the cheese mixture
over the turkey. Fold the naan in half to cover the sandwich filling.
Combine the melted butter and cumin; brush on both sides of the
sandwiches.
Put the sandwiches on the press, pull the top down, and cook until
browned and crisp, 3 to 6 minutes, depending on how hot your machine is.
(If using a grill pan, put a heavy pan on top of the sandwiches and
cook,  turning the sandwiches over once.) Carefully remove from the
press and serve.
