Tuna Panini This came in a Starkist Newsletter that I received this morning. Personally, I don't really like peppers, and don't care for 'hot tuna' but it actually sounds pretty good considering *LOL* TUNA PANINI
Ingredients
1 cup thinly sliced sweet red or green peppers
1/2 cup thinly sliced onion
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning and garlic salt
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
8 slice Italian bread (1/2 inch thick)
8 slice part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 (7.1-oz. ) pouch Chicken of the Sea® Premium Albacore Tuna Pouch
Directions:
In a skillet, over medium heat, saute peppers, onions, Italian seasoning and garlic salt in 1-Tablespoon hot oil until vegetables are crisp-tender; set aside. Brush remaining oil on one side of each slice of bread. On four slices bread, layer 2 slices cheese on un-oiled side. Evenly divide sauted pepper mixture and Chicken of the Sea® Tuna over cheese; top with bread, oil side on outside . Place sandwich in hot skillet; press with spatula to compact filling. Cook until bread is lightly toasted and cheese begins to melt. Carefully turn sandwich and press again; cook until lightly toasted. Makes 4 sandwiches.

** To reduce the calories & fat, I would use Kraft FREE Italian dressing in place of the olive oil & Italian seasoning and reduce it to one piece of cheese per sandwich. I would probably also use a higher fiber multi-grain bread instead of traditional Italian bread.
