  • 6–8 oz sliced turkey breast (deli or leftover roasted turkey)
  • 1/2 cup baby spinach or arugula
  • 4 slices provolone, mozzarella, or Swiss cheese

For the Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto:

  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained)
  • 1/4 cup basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 tablespoon pine nuts or walnuts (optional, for extra depth)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt & black pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto

  1. In a food processor, blend sun-dried tomatoes, basil, parmesan, pine nuts, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice until smooth.
  2. Season with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste. Set aside.

Step 2: Assemble the Sandwich

  1. Spread sun-dried tomato pesto on one side of each bread slice.
  2. Layer on turkey, cheese, and baby spinach/arugula.
  3. Top with the second slice of bread.

Step 3: Toast the Sandwich (Choose Your Method!)

✔ Grilled: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and toast each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
✔ Panini Press: Grill for 3-5 minutes until crispy.
✔ Oven: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes, flipping halfway.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!

  • Slice in half and serve with chips, a side salad, or a warm soup!
  • Optional: Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra depth of flavor.

Notes

✔ Make it spicy? Add red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot honey.
✔ No turkey? Substitute with grilled chicken or smoked tofu.
✔ Extra creamy? Spread a thin layer of goat cheese or ricotta under the pesto.
✔ Gluten-free? Use your favorite gluten-free bread.
