Ingredients
Sandwich Ingredients
- 1 loaf of Trader Joe’s sun-dried tomato focaccia
- 7 ounces 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 (preferably Costco brand)
Instructions
- Toast the focaccia: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and place the sun-dried tomato focaccia loaf inside. Toast it for 5-8 minutes until the bread is warm and slightly crispy.
- Prepare the pesto mayo: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and pesto until well combined to make a flavorful pesto mayo spread.
- Slice the focaccia: Place the bread flat on a cutting board and carefully slice horizontally through the center of the loaf using a serrated knife turned sideways. This keeps the top piece flat and preserves the tasty crumb topping.
- Assemble the sandwich: On the bottom half of the bread, spread pesto mayo generously. Layer the deli turkey evenly, followed by the sliced tomatoes, greens, and red onion. Add dollops of pesto mayo on top of the greens and onions for extra flavor without having to flip the bread.
- Complete and cut: Gently place the top half of the focaccia back onto the sandwich, pressing lightly to secure all layers. Using a large knife, slice the sandwich first in half, then cut across three times to create six manageable pieces. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious sandwich!
Notes
- You can substitute the deli turkey with chicken or ham as desired.
- Sprouts, microgreens, or spinach work well as greens, but feel free to use any leafy greens you prefer.
- For a dairy-free version, use vegan mayo and pesto replacements.
- If you want the sandwich warm throughout, you can toast the assembled sandwich in the oven for a couple more minutes.
- Adjust the amount of pesto mayo to taste for a milder or stronger flavor.
