I may not be a good cook, but making and eating this sandwich sure makes me feel like one. I have learned so much from this cook book, but the thing that really surprised me was the amount of time it took to make. This sandwich is called the "Pressed Roast Turkey, Pesto, and Provolone Sandwiches". This sandwich has the juicy flavor of the chicken or turkey (your choice), cheese and all "Sandwiched with an herbaceous pesto"(39). The best thing about this meal is that it only takes 20 minutes total!
Pressed Roast Turkey, Pesto, and Provolone Sandwiches
Ingredients-This is for 2 sandwiches:
- 4 slices of bread
- 3 teaspoons of basil pesto
- Olive oil
- Either handful of turkey slices or handful of chicken pieces
- Any kind of cheese
- Pan
- Chopping board
- Tong
- Cooking brush
1.) Lay out the bread on a good surface
2.) On only 2 slices, put 1.5 teaspoons of the basil pesto on one slice and the rest on the other
3.) Sprinkle the cheese or top the cheese on all 4 slices of bread
4.) Put chicken or turkey on the same side as the pesto and sprinkle more cheese on top of those pieces.
5.) Combine each slice with one another
6.) Using the brush, dip it into olive oil and brush all the outer layers of each sandwich
7.) Get the pan and put it on top of the stove and turn it on to medium heat (no oil!)
8.) After a little heated, use the tong and put the sandwiches in the pan
9.) After 5 minutes, use the tong to flip the sides
10.) After 5 more minutes take out the sandwiches and let them cool. After a minute or so... enjoy!

This is now going to be one of my favorite sandwiches now and according to Emeril, he says that the "Best bread for these sandwiches are ciabatta bread"(39). He says that it is much better with that because it brings in a more Italian taste but in my opinion, it is good with any bread! Emeril also says that Tomato Soup with this sandwich makes it more of a stronger meal (39). I really do like this sandwich because it brings in so much flavor and the time is also very limited in the kitchen!
Is making things more quickly mean that it is better quality?

The Pressed Roast Turkey, Pesto, and Provolone Sandwich seems appetizing! Although this dish may be made quickly, I believe that creating a dish with a thorough, careful procedure may have better results. I love sandwiches, particularly those that are predominantly American-styled meat and cheese. What is your favorite sandwich?
ReplyDeleteThank you Breanna! The only reason I got these results is that I am just a really bad cook, which is why I chose cooking as my blog project. I want to be a better cook and this is a good head start. I am pretty sure if anyone else cooks this same thing, they will have the results they wanted. Also, my favorite sandwich has always been the McChicken. I know it's basic but that's how I like them!
DeleteThis sandwich you made looks delicious! You seem to know how to eat right. This looks like a quick and healthy meal. Would you say this is a healthy meal? If not what could you do to make it healthier?
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting Jordan! This sandwich is one of the most healthiest sandwiches I've ever had! To add a full sandwich-like flavor, I would add lettuce to it and put some kind of sauce with the chicken and cheese.
