Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 1 loaf of Trader Joe’s sun-dried tomato focaccia
Meat
- 7-ounce package deli turkey
Vegetables
- 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 handful of greens (sprouts, microgreens, spinach, etc.)
- A few pieces of thinly sliced red onion
Condiments
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 1/4 cup pesto (Costco brand preferred)
Instructions
- Preheat and Toast Focaccia: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the sun-dried tomato focaccia in the oven and toast it for 5-8 minutes until it’s lightly crisp and warm.
- Prepare Pesto Mayo: In a small bowl, combine the pesto and mayonnaise, mixing them together thoroughly to create a flavorful pesto mayo spread.
- Slice Focaccia Horizontally: Lay the toasted focaccia flat on a cutting board. Using a serrated knife turned sideways, carefully slice horizontally through the center of the loaf without flipping the top piece to preserve the crumb texture. Set the top half aside flat.
- Assemble the Sandwich: On the bottom half of the bread, spread a layer of pesto mayo evenly. Then add a layer of deli turkey, followed by thinly sliced tomatoes, a handful of your chosen greens, and a few slices of red onion. Finish by dolloping more pesto mayo on top of the greens and onions to avoid flipping the top bread piece.
- Close and Slice: Gently press the top piece of focaccia back onto the layered sandwich, securing all ingredients. Using a large knife, cut the sandwich into pieces—typically cut down the middle and three times across to yield six portions. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Pillowy sun-dried tomato focaccia combines perfectly with the vibrant flavors of pesto mayo, turkey, and fresh veggies to create a satisfying, flavorful sandwich.
- Using a serrated knife horizontally preserves the focaccia’s crumbly texture and prevents the top from flipping.
- The pesto mayo can be adjusted to taste; consider using a vegan mayo to make it dairy-free.
- This sandwich assembles quickly and is great for meal prepping lunch for the week.
