Method

Spread the pesto on one side of each slice of bread.
Layer the turkey, mozzarella, sliced tomato and spinach on two slices and top with the others, pesto side in.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and coat with cooking spray. Have a heavy pot ready to press the sandwiches.
Lay in the sandwiches, press with the pot and cook for 3 minutes until golden. Flip, press again and cook 3 minutes more, until the cheese melts and the turkey is hot.
Rest 1 minute so the cheese sets slightly, then cut in half on an angle and serve hot.
