Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf Trader Joe's sun-dried tomato focaccia
  • 7 ounces deli turkey
  • 1 large tomato
  • 1 handful mixed greens
  • 1 small red onion
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup pesto

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F and toast the focaccia for 5 to 8 minutes.
  2. Mix the pesto and mayonnaise together in a small bowl to create a smooth spread.
  3. Keep the bread flat on a cutting board and slice horizontally through the center of the loaf.
  4. Layer the bottom half with pesto mayo, turkey, tomato slices, greens, and red onion.
  5. Dollop the remaining pesto mayo directly onto the greens to avoid flipping the top piece.
  6. Press the top piece back onto the sandwich securely.
  7. Cut the large sandwich down the middle and across three times to make six pieces.

Notes

Lightly salt your tomato slices before assembling to draw out excess moisture and maximize their natural flavor.
Let the finished loaf rest for two minutes before slicing to allow the mayonnaise to stabilize the layers.
