Recipe yields 2 servings
Preheat broiler. Place a red pepper on a broiler pan and roast under the broiler. With tongs, rotate until all sides are charred. Transfer pepper to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow pepper to cool for 5 minutes. Peel the pepper, remove the core and seeds and slice pepper into slivers. Set aside half the roasted pepper slices and refrigerate remaining half for future use.
Heat closed contact grill, panini maker or grill pan for 5 minutes.
Place artichoke hearts on paper towels; pat dry. Coarsely chop artichoke hearts. In a small bowl, mix artichoke hearts, spreadable cheese and spinach. Spread mixture on 2 bread slices. Top with half of the roasted pepper and turkey. Top with remaining bread slices. Spray both sides of sandwiches with nonstick cooking spray.
When grill is heated, place sandwiches on grill. Close grill and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until bread is toasted and cheese is melted.
