Pillowy sun-dried tomato focaccia gets piled with pesto mayo, turkey, juicy tomato slices, and greens. This sandwich is a beauty and practically a lifestyle!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This one goes in my personal sandwich hall of fame. We threw together a video of this sandwich on a whim a few months ago and it\u2019s now up to 4 million views, so apparently it\u2019s not just me that likes the bite of red onion with pesto mayo, juicy tomato, turkey, and greens on pillowy sun-dried tomato focaccia in a huge, heavily sauced handheld form.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll just say, it\u2019s worth the trip to Trader Joe\u2019s. <\/p>\n

How To Make This Sandwich<\/h2>\n

Step 1: Toast and Cut The Focaccia<\/h3>\n

Toast your bread at 400 degrees for 5-8 minutes (it\u2019s just better). Then, keeping it sideways, cut the bread with a serrated knife horizontally through the middle.<\/p>\n

\"White<\/figure>\n

Take the top piece off and set it aside. Keep the crumbly side facing up!<\/p>\n

\"White<\/figure>\n

Step 2: Spread a Layer of Pesto Mayo<\/h3>\n

I use the Costco pesto mixed with mayo here, but this basil sauce<\/a> is also A+!<\/p>\n

\"White<\/figure>\n

Step 3: Add Your Sandwich Materials<\/h3>\n

I like turkey, tomato, sprouts or greens, and red onion.<\/p>\n

\"Turkey,<\/figure>\n

Step 4: Dollop with a Little More Mayo<\/h3>\n

It seems weird, but I just dollop a bit more mayo right on top so you don\u2019t have to tip your top piece of bread upside down and lose all the crumblies.<\/p>\n

\"Pesto<\/figure>\n

Step 5: Place the Top Piece Back On and Squish It Down<\/h3>\n

Nice and secure!<\/p>\n

Step 6: Cut and Serve<\/h3>\n

That clean slice through the center is so satisfying!<\/p>\n

Lindsay\u2019s Notes<\/h2>\n

This is my soul sandwich. <\/p>\n

I have eaten approximately 73 of these sandwiches over the last three months. As it turns out, the combination of pesto mayo, sun-dried tomato focaccia, turkey, red onion, tomato, and some greens really means something to me on a deep level. Please write this recipe on my gravestone. <\/p>\n

Besides being craveable, munchy sandwich goodness, it is also there for me (and my family) when I have zero energy left, which just makes me love it even more.<\/p>\n

This is our go-to for red alert \/ everyone is hungry \/ running out the door type of nights. <\/p>\n

I always think I\u2019m just going to eat one wedge, but then somehow I eat another? And half of another? It\u2019s the layers, the textures, the flavors. The sharp bite of the onions against the creamy pesto mayo. The juicy tomato with the heartiness of the turkey and bread. Ugh. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s practically a lifestyle.<\/p>\n
