Step-by-Step Instructions for Turkey Pesto Sandwich
  1. Spread softened butter generously on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. On the opposite side, layer a hearty amount of pesto.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place one slice of the prepared sourdough bread in the skillet, butter side down, and toast for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  3. On top of the toasted bread, add a slice of provolone cheese followed by sliced turkey breast and sprinkle sun-dried tomatoes.
  4. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes to melt the provolone cheese.
  5. Remove the lid and layer fresh tomato slices and your choice of greens on top.
  6. Spread pesto on the second slice of sourdough and place it on top, pesto side facing down. Toast for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  7. Once toasted, transfer to a cutting board, slice in half, and serve warm.
