Ingredients:
- 1 large piece of sun-dried tomato focaccia, cut into sandwich-sized portions
- 8 ounces of sliced turkey breast
- 4 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh arugula
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil, drained and chopped
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons pesto
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Focaccia: If your focaccia isn’t pre-sliced, cut it into sandwich-sized portions. You can lightly toast the focaccia in a skillet with a little olive oil if you prefer a crispier texture.
- Make the Pesto Mayo: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and pesto until well combined. This spread will add an extra layer of flavor to the sandwich.
- Assemble the Sandwich:
- Spread a generous amount of the pesto mayo on both halves of the focaccia.
- Layer the turkey slices evenly over the bottom half of the focaccia.
- Place the mozzarella slices on top of the turkey.
- Add a layer of chopped sun-dried tomatoes, followed by the fresh arugula.
- Drizzle a little olive oil over the arugula and season with salt and pepper.
- Finish and Serve: Place the top half of the focaccia over the sandwich filling, press down gently, and cut the sandwich in half if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
