Pesto & Turkey Sandwich

The sandwich is named after John Montagu,
the 4th Earl of Sandwich,
who would often order two slices of bread with meat
while he was gambling.

Since then, sandwiches have become a classic American lunch
and have emerged in countless variations and varieties.

The Pesto & Turkey Sandwich
is another staple American sandwich
and the light sandwich meat + green pesto
reminds me of summer.

Much more satisfying than the old PB&J,
this recipe is easy, quick, and budget-friendly!!



Ingredients:
Pesto
2 Slices of Bread
Turkey
Unsalted butter
1 slice of provolone cheese


Place a pan on med-low heat. Lightly butter two slices of bread on each side. On one of the slices layer on pesto (as much as desired). Place the slice of bread with the pesto on the pan, butter side down/pesto side up. Note that butter makes the bread brown faster so quickly add provolone and turkey. Let cheese warm up/begin to melt before adding top piece of bread and flipping (if smoke starts coming from the bottom of the bread, it is probably burnt). Take sandwich off of the pan and enjoy while still warm!

Happy Eating!
