Pesto Turkey Sandwich Recipe
This delicious pesto turkey sandwich is a fabulous way to enjoy more turkey after the holidays!
A turkey sandwich made with real turkey is a thing of beauty. Forget the processed, store-bought stuff. Slice off a piece of real turkey breast and layer on some delicious toppings for an unforgettable, post-Thanksgiving lunch!
For this recipe, I wanted to enjoy just a slight twist to an age-old classic, the turkey sandwich.
Most people have a very specific idea of what makes the best turkey sandwich. It could be the mayo, or the bread, or even the turkey itself. But every person has their own favorite. This one is mine.
I love the addition of the pesto! And if you really want to spice things up a bit, try it with cilantro pesto for a really delicious meal. But truth be told, basil pesto is just as good. And if you need a dairy free pesto, this one is really good.
If you are making this for a take-along lunch, put it in the lunch box with a cold pack, or in the fridge at work if you have one. It’s important to keep that turkey cold. But I promise it won’t be one of those sandwiches that tastes awful when it’s cold. On the contrary! I’m not sure I would want to eat it any other way!
