Group: Ingredients
  • 1 loaf Trader Joe’s sun-dried tomato focaccia bread

  • ½ cup pesto store-bought or homemade

Method
 

  1. Start by cutting your sun-dried tomato focaccia bread in half horizontally.
  2. Lay down a generous layer of the thinly sliced turkey breast. Next, place the slices of fresh mozzarella on top.
  3. Drizzle a few spoonfuls of pesto over the mozzarella and finish with a handful of fresh arugula.
  4. Sprinkle a touch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the greens and press the top half of the focaccia back onto the sandwiches.
  5. Toast the sandwich in a panini press or a cast-iron skillet until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
  6. Once toasted, let the sandwich rest for a minute before slicing and serving.
