If I could eat one thing every day, it could be this turkey mozzarella sandwich made with an amazing rosemary focaccia bread. Seriously, it is so freaking delicious! The secrets? Fresh rich mozzarella, an easy homemade sundried tomato pesto, high quality deli turkey, and fresh tomatoes and arugula to add more freshness. And obviously the rosemary focaccia!
Wait a sec…did I pretty much list all the ingredients in this sandwich? Oops! I guess that goes to show that what makes this sandwich unique and so good is EVERYTHING about it. So let’s talk about it, shall we? 🙂
The Rosemary Focaccia
Check out my recipe for this super yummy Rosemary Focaccia! It’s packed with fragrant flavors from really good olive oil and fresh rosemary. I also have a full guide on how to work with yeast dough.
And just imagine using this as your sandwich bread…yup. It’s like, every amazing flavors on every layer of your sandwich!
My Easy Sundried Tomato Pesto
This one is definitely one of the star ingredients! It’s rich and packed with flavors that are out of this world. Made with sundried tomatoes, grated parmesan, basil, walnuts, and olive oil, this easy sundried tomato pesto is just PERFECT as a sandwich spread. Also…can you spot the sandwich in the photo below? 😉
The Turkey, Mozzarella Cheese, and Veggies
Get high quality deli turkey! I prefer freshly shaved deli turkey at the grocery store. Fresh mozzarella also makes this sandwich feel refreshing. And the sliced tomatoes and arugula add to that freshness.
What Else Makes a Good Sandwich?
The ingredients you use are obviously super important, but ratios are too. A good sandwich should have a good balance of ingredients. If you put too much of something, it will feel off. Also, if a particular ingredient is too rich or strong, put less of that. Every sandwich is different, so just play it by ear, always keeping in mind that you need balanced ratios.
And just like that, my friends, you have a well-composed and extraordinary, yet simple, sandwich that will become your new favorite! Make the bread and pesto ahead of time and assemble it later. Share it with family and friends.
And don’t forget to pin this recipe for later! 🙂
