Alright, we’ve all been there: you just got off work, the kids are hungry, and you have zero lined up for dinner yet. Enter this Tuscan Turkey Sandwich recipe. Not only are they incredibly simple to throw together, they’re also a quick option and can be ready to serve in less than 30 minutes.
Also, can we all agree that turkey is not only for holidays? Turkey is a super versatile protein and I love incorporating it into recipes.
Tip #1 – Turkey Temp
For this recipe, I recommend using a meat thermometer. Using this kitchen tool takes the guesswork out of the doneness of the meat in question. Be sure that the inside temperature of the turkey breast reaches 165°F.
Tip #2 – Tools
While I used a grilling pan to cook the turkey, the BBQ is a great option as well.? ? The reason I went for the grilling pan was for the sack of convenience and time. We own a charcoal BBQ and the process of getting it going is daunting to me – especially when I’m in a hurry.
Tip #3 – Pesto
If you have any leftover basil from your summer garden, now is the time to use it! This recipe includes a very basic pesto recipe. Pesto can be used in a variety of ways, ? not only for these sandwiches. Are you a fan of pesto? Try this Cashew Pesto Pasta recipe!
