I could think of a million ways to use leftover turkey but this recipe I’m sharing today is one of my absolute favorites. I’m a self-proclaimed sandwich addict. I could probably eat nothing but sandwiches for meals the rest of my life and still be a happy girl. Notice I said “for meals” because I’d still have to have dessert. This sandwich is so simple to throw together yet so unbelievably delicious, I know you are going to love it! So if you are still looking for a way to use up some of that leftover turkey, please give this sandwich a try!
Turkey Pesto Panini
turkey, whatever kind you like and however much you prefer (I used leftover turkey from Thanksgiving)
1 tablespoon prepared pesto
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
sliced Provolone cheese
focaccia (any kind of bread would work here but focaccia has so much flavor…I used garlic and herb flavor)
butter
Preheat a panini press (or warm your skillet) over medium-high heat. Mix together mayonnaise and pesto. Spread generously over split focaccia. Top the bread with sliced turkey and a slice of Provolone cheese. Spread butter on the outside of the bread (I used butter spray), and grill until cheese is melted and sandwich is heated through. Serve hot.

I’m finished with the Thanksgiving turkey, but oh my goodness, I think I’ll make this anyway with deli turkey! Pinning it, too! Thanks!
