Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 1 loaf of Trader Joe’s Sun-Dried Tomato Focaccia
Protein
- 1 package (7 oz) deli turkey
Vegetables
- 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
- A handful of greens (e.g., sprouts, microgreens, spinach)
- A few slices of red onion
Condiments
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup pesto
Instructions
- Preheat and Toast the Focaccia: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the loaf of sun-dried tomato focaccia directly on the oven rack or a baking sheet and toast it for 5 to 8 minutes until it is slightly crispy and warmed through.
- Make the Pesto Mayo: While the focaccia is toasting, combine 1/4 cup of mayonnaise and 1/4 cup of pesto in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly until well blended to create a flavorful pesto mayo spread.
- Slice the Focaccia: Remove the toasted focaccia from the oven and carefully slice it horizontally into two even pieces. Set the top piece aside for assembly.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous layer of the prepared pesto mayo on the bottom half of the toasted focaccia. Layer the deli turkey evenly on top of the pesto mayo, followed by the thinly sliced tomato, a handful of fresh greens, and slices of red onion. Add another layer of pesto mayo over the vegetables for extra flavor.
- Complete and Serve: Place the top piece of focaccia back onto the sandwich, gently pressing down to hold the ingredients together. For easier serving and portion control, cut the sandwich into six pieces. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute the deli turkey with roasted chicken or your preferred deli meat for variation.
- If you prefer a vegetarian option, omit the turkey and add extra greens or cheese.
- Pesto mayo can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and used in other sandwiches or as a dip.
- To add a little extra crunch, consider adding sliced cucumbers or bell peppers.
- Store leftover sandwich pieces wrapped tightly in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours to maintain freshness.
