Smoked Turkey Sandwich Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Make the Pecan Pesto

   In a food processor, combine 1 cup of toasted pecans, 1 cup of fresh basil leaves, 1 garlic clove, 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/2 cup of olive oil. Blend until smooth and season with salt and pepper to taste.

2. 2

   Prepare the Bread

   Heat a skillet over medium heat. Drizzle olive oil on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

3. 3

   Assemble the Sandwich

   Spread a generous amount of pecan pesto on the non-oiled side of each slice of bread. Layer smoked turkey, Gruyere cheese, lettuce, tomato, and red onion on one slice. Top with the other slice of bread, oiled side up.

4. 4

   Grill the Sandwich

   Place the sandwich in the skillet and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese has melted.

5. 5

   Serve

   Remove the sandwich from the skillet, cut in half, and serve warm.
