A quick recipe for a Turkey, Bacon & Garlic Hummus Panini. So tasty you’ll wonder why you haven’t used hummus this way before.
WHOA!! Do you know what today is? It’s National Hummus Day!! That’s right. A day dedicated to the marriage of Mr Tahini and Miss Cici Bean. And such a delicious marriage it is. I’ve teamed up with Sabra Dipping Co to bring you this cheesy, bacony, and garlicy hummusy deliciousness. I mean, this sammie was: off. the. hook.
I have been a Sabra Tastemaker for the past two years and one of the questions I get all of the time is: what else can you do with hummus besides using it as a dip? Hummus is incredibly versatile and makes for a great “binder” when added to ground meat or even swirled into sauces. You don’t even need to get fancy pants with it and can toss hot pasta in it.
A few of my favorite recipes using hummus:
- Spicy Hummus & Quinoa Falafel – Farmgirl Gourmet
- Asian Salad Hummus Flatbread – Nutmeg Nanny
- Moroccan Meatball Sliders – Farmgirl Gourmet
- Gluten Free Thai Noodle Salad – Smith Bites
See what I mean? Â So easy to use in tons of ways other than just for dipping. Â Which, don’t get me wrong, is amazing as well. Â We use hummus in our house for dipping veggies and in place of mayo almost daily. Â So why not spread it on a panini, right? Â Are you picking up what I’m putting down? Â I used the Roasted Garlic Hummus for this recipe, but pretty much any of the flavors will work great.
I had to do it. I mean…..BACON. Ok let’s continue.

Hi! I’m Heather
I’m Heather, a recipe developer and content creator based in Vancouver, Washington. I started Farmgirl Gourmet in 2006 because I believed weeknight dinners shouldn’t be boring and gourmet shouldn’t mean complicated. I’m also the co-founder of Spiceology, so safe to say I think about food for a living. Stick around for recipes that actually make it into your regular rotation.
Family loved it.
