Wash spinach, drain and dry with paper towels.
Cut avocado in half. Scoop out one half of the avocado and mash; mix it with the mayonnaise in a bowl until thoroughly mixed.
Preheat a panini sandwich press/maker.
Prepare the sandwiches:
Split ciabatta rolls in half across; brush the bottom of each roll with olive oil; pace the bottoms onto the panini press, olive oil side down. Place a cheese slice, half of the spinach leaves, half of the sliced turkey breast, and a sliced roasted red pepper on each sandwich. Spread half of the avocado mixture on the cut (inside) surface of each top; place on the top of the roll on each sandwich. Brush the top of the roll with olive oil.
Close the panini press and cook until the bun is toasted and crisp, with golden brown grill marks, and the cheese has melted, about 5 - 8 minutes.
Makes 2 sandwiches.
**The fresh spinach could be added after sandwich is done, if desired.
***The second half of the avocado could be sliced and added after cooking, if desired.
