National Nutrition Month: Turkey Panini – YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City

The YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City is committed to helping individuals and families live healthy lifestyles everywhere they go. During National Nutrition Month, we’re sharing some of our favorite recipes to keep your health and wellness journey on track.

The Y feeds thousands of children year-round, so we know how important it is to make mealtime interesting. These recipes are kid-friendly and simple enough that the entire family can join in on making them.

Up first, we’re sharing a favorite straight from the Joplin Family YMCA.
