Easy. Fun change for regular turkey sandwiches.

I loved this...the thing that amazed me the most was how it wasn't greasy AT ALL!! I couldn't find any pesto at the grocery store (small town) and so I used fresh cilantro instead...It was fantastic...I also sprayed the outside of the crust with Canola Pam and then sprinkled it with Parmesan right before baking..yummy.

The versatility of this recipe is the best part of it -- the sandwiches are pretty darn good too. I've made several variations on this sandwich - ham, cheddar cheese, spicy brown mustard; pepperoni, spaghetti sauce, mozzarella cheese; turkey, smoked gouda, sun dried tomato pesto...the list goes on. Enjoy and create!!

My boyfriend is a really picky eater and he absolutely loved these! Very fast and very easy! Plus, you can substitute turkey for any other meat (beef, pepperoni, shrimp, chicken, etc.) and pesto for another sauce (marinara, etc.). It is now one of our favorite recipes. Plus, we love Italian food.

Even better than I was expecting. My picky husband, 3 yr old and 1 yr old all ate it and would like it again!

This was sooo good! I didn't use the pesto sauce, I just used a marinara and it was great.

Good, but a little less pesto would make them better.

Pesto was a bit overpowering.
