Several blog posts ago I wrote about my overgrowing basil and parsley and making pesto with them, which I served on pasta. Two weeks later, I still had some leftover pesto (luckily, it was still good!) so I needed to find a way to use it up, but I felt like trying it on sandwich this time. Off to the internet I went, and found this great
Turkey Pesto Sandwich recipe from Cooking Light that was super easy (perfect, since I've been busy and don't have time for complicated recipes) and surprisingly tasty. I have to admit, I wasn't too sure how well it would turn out because the recipe almost seemed
too simple, but the pesto spread turned out great. I also used smoked turkey and added fresh basil leaves which I think intensified the flavor in a good way. The buffalo mozzarella imported from Italy couldn't have hurt either. I'm definitely keeping this one in the rotation!
