CLASSIC TURKEY PESTO SANDWICH



Classic Turkey Pesto Sandwich image

One of my favorite sandwiches--I keep a round loaf of sliced sourdough in the freezer at all times, just for this sandwich. A good ciabatta would be equally good, I think. You could easily sub your favorite cheese for the provolone, try swiss. Feel free to adjust ingredient amounts to suit your taste. Lovely with a cup of soup or side salad, for a satisfying quick and easy lunch or weeknight meal. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose tenderloins with a little bit of fat: This will help keep them moist during cooking.
  • Pound the tenderloins to an even thickness: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Season the tenderloins generously with salt and pepper: This will help bring out their flavor.
  • Use a good quality pesto: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the tenderloins: This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the tenderloins over medium heat: This will help prevent them from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the tenderloins: They are done when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the tenderloins rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Turkey tenderloins with pesto and provolone cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The tenderloins are juicy and flavorful, and the pesto and provolone cheese add a delicious richness. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
