If you are looking for that restaurant quality bistro sandwich, look no further. You can now bring the bistro home with you when you make this Turkey Pesto Grilled Cheese, by just using a few simple ingredients. The secret to any amazing sandwich is sourdough bread. I know, I know, your probably thinking “why is that so important?”. I don’t have a professional chef response for that, but from a foodie standpoint, the bread just tastes so amazing when you add butter and make it oh so crispy.
Pair this delicious bistro inspired sanwich with your favorite tomato soup. I sometimes wonder who came up with this dou and think “wow they were a genius!”. I Really love how the flavors all come together with this recipe. When’s the last time you had a grilled cheese and tomato soup?
Turkey Pesto Grilled Cheese
Ingredients
- Pesto
- Swiss
- American Cheese
- Sliced Turkey Herb
- Sourdough Bread
- Butter
Instructions
- In a cast iron skillet, or regular cooking pan, melt 1-2 Tablespoons of butter on low/medium heat.
- First layer on the sourdough bread slices, then add the cheese, sliced turkey, spinach, roasted red peppers and artichokes.
- On the top slices of bread spread a generous amount of pesto sauce over the slices of bread. Top off the sandwiches and then secure them by sticking a toothpick on each side of the sandwiches.
- Flip slowly and place sandwiches softly on their other sides. Cook until golden brown, then serve with a hot bowl of Tomato Soup.
- Dip and then eat. Enjoy!
