In This Post: Everything You Need For This Turkey Sandwich

How To Make This Sandwich

Step 1: Toast and Cut The Focaccia

Toast your bread at 400 degrees for 5-8 minutes (it’s just better). Then, keeping it sideways, cut the bread with a serrated knife horizontally through the middle. Take the top piece off and set it aside. Keep the crumbly side facing up!

Step 2: Spread a Layer of Pesto Mayo

I use the Costco pesto mixed with mayo here, but this basil sauce is also A+!

Step 3: Add Your Sandwich Materials

I like turkey, tomato, sprouts or greens, and red onion.

Step 4: Dollop with a Little More Mayo

It seems weird, but I just dollop a bit more mayo right on top so you don’t have to tip your top piece of bread upside down and lose all the crumblies.

Step 5: Place the Top Piece Back On and Squish It Down

Nice and secure!

Step 6: Cut and Serve

That clean slice through the center is so satisfying!

Lindsay’s Notes

This is my soul sandwich. I have eaten approximately 73 of these sandwiches over the last three months. As it turns out, the combination of pesto mayo, sun-dried tomato focaccia, turkey, red onion, tomato, and some greens really means something to me on a deep level. Please write this recipe on my gravestone. Besides being craveable, munchy sandwich goodness, it is also there for me (and my family) when I have zero energy left, which just makes me love it even more. This is our go-to for red alert / everyone is hungry / running out the door type of nights. I always think I’m just going to eat one wedge, but then somehow I eat another? And half of another? It’s the layers, the textures, the flavors. The sharp bite of the onions against the creamy pesto mayo. The juicy tomato with the heartiness of the turkey and bread. Ugh. It’s practically a lifestyle. If you love a good Trader Joe’s meal hack, I highly recommend trying this Mushroom Sandwich or Scallion Pancake with Eggs!
