\"Ingredients<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This past Mother\u2019s Day, we planned a very last minute brunch at my sister\u2019s house and I had absolutely no time to prepare an elaborate meal. My sister and I planned to just do a nice charcuterie board, some easy sides, and call it a day. I had a feeling it wouldn\u2019t be enough food so I made this Pesto Turkey Sandwich just to give us something filling to eat with literally no expectations\u2014but it was a HIT! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homemade pesto makes everything better and, if you have a food processor or a good blender, I highly recommend making it and putting it on everything\u2014sandwiches, eggs, pasta, veggies, protein, or pizza. The world is your oyster. Use it liberally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is great for an easy lunch, a picnic in the park, a quick dinner, or truly any occasion. It is so quick to put together but a true crowd pleaser. Make your pesto the night before to cut down on prep time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INSTRUCTIONS:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. First make your pesto. Blend all pesto ingredients until smooth in a food processor.<\/li>
  2. To assemble the sandwiches, spread pesto on both pieces of bread. Add turkey, sundried tomatoes, and any additional ingredients you like. <\/li>
  3. Serve & enjoy!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    NOTES:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    • If you\u2019re vegan or vegetarian, try using tofurkey instead. For vegans, sub nutritional yeast instead of cheese for the pesto recipe.<\/li>
    • I used sourdough bread because my mom and I both have a gluten allergy. Sourdough is a low-gluten bread and also has lower levels of fructans which can make it a better option for those with gluten sensitivities and digestive issues like IBS. If you have celiacs, check with your doctor before eating sourdough or switch to gluten free bread.<\/li>
    • If you\u2019re really in a pinch, use store-bought pesto. But if you have ten minutes, you have enough time to make it fresh!<\/li>
    • You can keep the stems on your basil, but remove any thick stems so they don\u2019t get stuck in your blender or food processor. <\/li>
    • Sundried tomatoes give this a nice tangy flavor but they\u2019re also an excellent source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant. <\/li>
    • If you\u2019re using a food processor, grate your pecorino romano cheese using the grater tool first. If using a blender, grate your cheese by hand first. <\/li>
    • If you\u2019re using a panini press, skip toasting the bread beforehand. <\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":16439,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","course":[410],"cuisine":[],"special-diet":[],"skill-level":[416,417],"collection":[],"recipe-tag":[564,504,456,428,437,471],"class_list":{"0":"post-16432","1":"recipe","2":"type-recipe","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"course-lunch","7":"skill-level-easy","8":"skill-level-medium","9":"recipe-tag-basil","10":"recipe-tag-garlic","11":"recipe-tag-nuts","12":"recipe-tag-pesto","13":"recipe-tag-tomatoes","14":"recipe-tag-turkey"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe\/16432","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16432"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe\/16432\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16450,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe\/16432\/revisions\/16450"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16432"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"course","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/course?post=16432"},{"taxonomy":"cuisine","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cuisine?post=16432"},{"taxonomy":"special-diet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/special-diet?post=16432"},{"taxonomy":"skill-level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/skill-level?post=16432"},{"taxonomy":"collection","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/collection?post=16432"},{"taxonomy":"recipe-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neora.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe-tag?post=16432"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
