How To Make This Turkey Sandwich:
You’ve probably made turkey sandwiches in the past, but you’ve never made THIS kind of sandwich, so here’s how to combine all the deliciousness:
- First things first, go ahead and start making the Avocado Pesto recipe.
- Avocado pesto? Check! Now slice your ciabatta loaf lengthwise. Apply a small amount of olive oil and freshly ground pepper to both sides. Toast in the oven or gently grill on a gill until it’s warm and crusty.
- Toast the bread and spread the avocado pesto and a small amount of dijon mustard on both sides.
- Time to assemble. Arrange the turkey, arugula, and provolone on the bottom slice of bread.
- The sandwich is best served warm, so add the top slice of bread, cut it up, and store it in the refrigerator for later. This will keep at least a day.
