The Best Sun-dried Tomato and Turkey Focaccia Sandwich

If there is one recipe you need to get from my website, it is this one. It simply is one of the easiest ways to make a sandwich for yourself or a large group of people. It is well layered and hands down is one of my favorites. You can customize if however you want!

I got all of my ingredients from Trader Joe’s! This one-stop shopping makes it so much easier. I originally saw this focaccia at Trader Joe’s and I knew I had to try it! Little did I know it would become one of my favorite products.

Take your focaccia and carefully slice in half lengthwise. I like to lightly toast mine for a couple of minutes, but that is optional. For your sauces, you cannot go wrong. In my opinion a good sandwich has 2. My first layer is your favorite jarred pesto! My second sauce is a lemon garlic aioli. To make the aioli, mix 1 heaping tbsp of mayonnaise with 1 tsp of lemon juice and 1 tsp of minced garlic.

Stack your sandwich with you bread, pesto, soft leafy greens (massaged in oil, salt and pepper), deli turkey, sun-dried tomatoes, sliced avocado, red onion, salt, pepper, havarti cheese, lemon garlic aioli. Slice and serve.
