This turkey pesto sandwich combines tender deli turkey, creamy pesto, fresh zucchini, tomatoes, and provolone cheese for a baked masterpiece that's nutritious, flavorful, and easy to prepare.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf (1 pound) French bread
- 1 cup prepared pesto
- 1 pound thinly sliced deli turkey
- 1/2 pound provolone cheese, thinly sliced
- 2 small zucchini, thinly sliced
- 2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Cut the top fourth off the loaf of French bread and hollow out the bottom, leaving a 1/2-inch shell. Save the removed bread for another use or discard.
- Spread the pesto generously on the inside of both the top and bottom of the bread.
- In the hollowed-out loaf, layer the sliced turkey, provolone cheese, zucchini, tomatoes, and red onion. Press the layers together to ensure the sandwich stays compact.

- Transfer the wrapped sandwich to a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, until heated through.
- Let the sandwich rest for 10 minutes before slicing it into portions to serve.
