Method

Sandwich Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Lightly brush each slice of sourdough bread with olive oil on one side.

  2. 2

    Spread Pesto

    Spread 2 tablespoons of pesto sauce on the non-oiled side of two slices of bread.

  3. 3

    Layer Turkey and Cheese

    Layer the sliced turkey breast evenly over the pesto on one slice of bread, followed by the sliced mozzarella cheese.

  4. 4

    Add Tomato and Basil

    Layer the sliced tomato and fresh basil leaves on top of the cheese.

  5. 5

    Season

    Sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Top and Grill

    Top with the second slice of bread, pesto side down. Heat a skillet over medium heat and grill each sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve warm.

Fries Directions

  1. 8

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 9

    Prepare Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to form fries.

  3. 10

    Season Fries

    In a large mixing bowl, toss the cut potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika until evenly coated.

  4. 11

    Bake Fries

    Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy and golden.

  5. 12

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving alongside the turkey pesto sandwich.
