Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich
- 1 loaf of Trader Joe’s sun-dried tomato focaccia
- 7-ounce package deli turkey
- 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 handful of greens (sprouts, microgreens, spinach, etc.)
- A few pieces of thinly sliced red onion
Spread
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup pesto (Costco brand recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat and Toast Bread: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the whole loaf of sun-dried tomato focaccia on a baking sheet and toast it in the oven for 5 to 8 minutes until it is warm and slightly crisp.
- Prepare Pesto Mayo: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of mayonnaise and 1/4 cup of pesto. Mix thoroughly until well blended to create a flavorful pesto mayo spread.
- Slice the Bread: On a cutting board, keep the focaccia loaf flat. Using a serrated knife turned sideways, carefully slice horizontally through the center of the loaf. Be gentle to preserve the top’s delicious crumb texture. Set the top half aside flat.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous layer of the pesto mayo on the bottom half of the bread. Next, layer the deli turkey evenly over the spread. Add thinly sliced tomato, followed by your choice of greens, and a few slices of red onion. Then, dollop additional pesto mayo directly on top of the greens and onions for extra flavor.
- Finish and Slice: Gently place the reserved top half of the focaccia back over the layered ingredients, pressing lightly so it is secure. Using a large knife, cut the sandwich down the middle and then crosswise into three sections, making six pieces total. Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful and fresh sandwich.
Notes
- For best results, use freshly toasted focaccia to add crunch and warmth to the sandwich.
- You can customize the greens to your preference, such as using arugula or kale if desired.
- If pesto is not available, basil pesto or sun-dried tomato pesto both work well.
- To make it dairy-free, substitute the mayonnaise with a vegan alternative and check pesto ingredients.
- This sandwich pairs well with a simple side salad or kettle-cooked chips for a complete meal.
