Toasted Pesto Turkey Sandwich
This pesto turkey sandwich is perfectly toasted and full of classic flavors that you love in this crispy sandwich! Cheesy mozzarella is melted and stacked between layers of pesto, arugula, and mushrooms–yumm!
Ingredients
- 1 ciabatta bread or rolls
- ~¼ cup arugula
- 3 ounces turkey breast
- 1 ounces mozzarella cheese full fat
- ~4 mini bella mushroom slices
- 1-2 tablespoons pesto
- 2 teaspoons mayo
Instructions
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium high heat.
- While grill pan/skillet is heating, assemble your sandwich by doing the following: first spread ½ of your pesto onto one side (the inside) of your bun/bread. Next add arugula, followed by turkey, then the mozzarella, then mushroom slices. Spread the remaining pesto onto the remaining bun (the inside) and place on top.
- Spread 1 tsp mayo onto the top of the sandwich and place mayo side down onto the hot grill pan/skillet. I like to place another heavy skillet on top then allow it to cook for 3-4 minutes. Then add the remaining tsp of mayo to the bottom (currently facing up) of the sandwich and flip it to cook on the other side for another 3-4 minutes)
- Remove your sandwich and enjoy!

Notes
Any crusty bread will work such as sourdough.
Fat free or low fat cheese will not melt well and I don’t recommend it.
