Mediterranean Turkey Sandwich Recipe

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

Notes:
A turkey sandwich with an exotic touch.  Tasty, original & fast! Finally a sandwich with some personality =P   A delicacy of the mediterranean cusine, has strong italian influences… brought to you by me!  A delicious pesto recipe included… oh mama mia!   Translated from my language to english, for buddyslim only!  Enjoy ;-)

Servings: 2

Ingredients:
480 g (1 lb) sliced turkey (cooked as you wish)
4 wholemeal bread (hamburger style)
1 sliced white onion
3 spoons dark sugar
1 cup light cream cheese or ricotta cheese
Lettuce and tomato

For the pesto:

1 cup fresh basil leaves
half cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup of olive oil
salt and pepper
Toasted & crushed pine nuts (optional)

Directions:
In a blender add the basil, parmesan cheese and olive oil, until you get a smooth paste (cream like) Add the salt, pine nuts and pepper. Set aside. Next, in a frying pan melt the sugar then add the onion. Cook it for 10 minutes until it's caramelized. In a bowl mix the cream cheese with the pesto (the blender mix I asked you to set aside previously) Now spread this mix on the bread, add in this order: some lettuce leaves, tomato, some more of the pesto if you like, the turkey slices & the caramelized onion. Bon apetit!
