Ingredients
Scale
For the Sandwich
- 1 loaf of Trader Joe’s Sun-Dried Tomato Focaccia
- 1 package (7 oz) deli turkey
- 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
- A handful of greens (e.g., sprouts, microgreens, spinach)
- A few slices of red onion
For the Pesto Mayo
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup pesto
Instructions
- Preheat and toast the focaccia: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the sun-dried tomato focaccia on a baking sheet and toast it in the oven for 5–8 minutes until it becomes slightly crispy and warmed through, enhancing its flavor and texture.
- Prepare the pesto mayo: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together the mayonnaise and pesto until well combined to create a flavorful pesto mayonnaise spread.
- Slice the focaccia: Carefully slice the toasted focaccia horizontally to create a top and bottom half, setting the top piece aside for later assembly.
- Assemble the sandwich: Spread a generous layer of the prepared pesto mayo evenly on the bottom piece of focaccia. Layer the deli turkey evenly over the pesto mayo, followed by the thinly sliced tomatoes, a handful of fresh greens, and red onion slices. Add more pesto mayo on top for extra flavor balance.
- Complete and serve: Place the top piece of focaccia back onto the sandwich and gently press down to secure the layers. Using a sharp knife, cut the sandwich into 6 manageable pieces for easy serving and enjoying.
Notes
- You can substitute deli turkey with chicken or ham if preferred.
- For a lighter option, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise in the pesto mayo.
- Add cheese such as mozzarella or provolone for extra richness.
- Use fresh basil or arugula as the green instead of mixed greens for a peppery bite.
- This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh but can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 1 day.
