Turkey Pesto Super Sub Sandwiches
You can use more or less cheese or turkey, or different kinds of cheese, depending on the flavor you want. You can also use a different kind of bread. I used DeLallo’s basil pesto and Tillamook’s cheese – 2 of my favorite brands. Cut pieces big or small!
Ingredients
- 24 oz. large round loaf of soft bread, I used Costco’s Country French Bread
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup prepared basil pesto
- 1/4 cup prepared mustard
- 1 lb. roasted turkey slices
- 1 lb. sliced Colby Jack
- 1 lb. sliced Monterey Jack
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoncinis
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Lay the bread on a cutting board and slice it in half, horizontally. Spread the pesto over one side and the mustard on the other side.
- Layer the turkey, cheese slices (save out about 6 slices), onions, and pepperoncinis onto the bread. Place the remaining 6 cheese slices on top. Place the top piece of bread on top of the giant sandwich.
- Push down on the bread to flatten it as much as you can. Brush with melted butter on both sides. Wrap the giant sub in several pieces of foil.
- Press between 2 cookie sheets, placing a large ovenproof, heavy skillet on top.
- Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for about 5 minutes. Open the foil and allow to cool for another 5 minutes before slicing into individual sandwiches.
- Garnish with a pickle on top (optional) or skewers to keep the sandwich together. Serve!
