TJ’s Focaccia Turkey Sando
Sun-dried tomato focaccia toasted and loaded with pesto mayo, deli turkey, juicy tomato, red onion, and greens. Simple enough for Tuesday, good enough to crave on repeat.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf TJ’s sun-dried tomato focaccia (or any focaccia)
- 7 oz deli turkey
- 1 large tomato
- Handful of greens (sprouts, microgreens, or spinach)
- A few slices red onion
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup pesto (TJ’s or Costco)
- Optional: bacon, mozzarella, provolone, avocado
Pesto Mayo
Mix together ¼ cup mayo and ¼ cup pesto (TJ’s or Costco brand pesto works great) in a small bowl. That’s it — this is the secret weapon of the whole sandwich.
Toast the Focaccia
Preheat oven to 400°F. Toast 1 loaf of TJ’s sun-dried tomato focaccia (or any focaccia) for 5–8 minutes. It’s just better toasted. Any dense, flavored focaccia works — roasted tomato, herb, or plain all do the job.
Slice
With the loaf flat on a cutting board, turn your serrated knife sideways and slice horizontally through the center of the entire loaf. Set the top piece aside crumbly-side up — don’t flip it or you’ll lose those good crumbles.
Layer & Assemble
Spread pesto mayo on the bottom half. Layer on: one 7-oz package of deli turkey, thinly sliced tomato, a handful of greens (sprouts, microgreens, or spinach), and a few slices of thin red onion. Dollop a bit more pesto mayo directly on top of the greens — this way you don’t have to flip the top piece to spread it. Gently press the top piece back on.
Cut & Serve
Use a large knife to cut down the center and across 3 times for 6 pieces. Optional add-ons: bacon, mozzarella, provolone, avocado, or balsamic. Leftovers go soggy fast — if you’re not eating the whole loaf, just cut off a chunk and build a smaller sandwich.
