Ingredients
Ingredients
- 200 g Sliced turkey
- 60 g Basil pesto
- 4 slice Bread sturdy sandwich type like sourdough or whole-grain
- 100 g Cheese optional, any meltable type
- 100 g Lettuce or arugula
- 100 g Tomato sliced
- 15 ml Olive oil for toasting
Instructions
- Assemble the sandwich with pesto, turkey, cheese if using, and any greens you enjoy. Butter the outside of the bread lightly for a golden crust.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat until it’s hot, then grill the sandwich for about 2–3 minutes on each side, pressing gently to melt the cheese and toast the bread.
- If using an air fryer, preheat to 190°C and cook the assembled sandwich for about 4–6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy.
Notes
Tip: Avoid overstuffing the sandwich to keep it easy to slice and eat. Letting it rest after cooking helps everything settle.
