- 4 oz. sliced turkey breast
- 2 tablespoons basil pesto
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 medium-sized tomato, thinly sliced

- Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous amount of the basil pesto mayo onto one side of each slice.
- On one of the slices, layer the sliced turkey breast evenly.
- Next, add a layer of fresh baby spinach leaves on top of the turkey.
- Place the thinly sliced tomatoes & red onion on top of the spinach.
- Top each sandwich with the remaining slice of bread, pesto mayo side down, to complete the assembly.
- If desired, you can slice the sandwiches in half diagonally for easier handling.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors with every bite!
