Post Thanksgiving Turkey "Sandwich"

This is such a fresh new take on how to eat that leftover Thanksgiving  turkey!  The turkey is probably the healthiest option on most Thanksgiving Day tables, so it's your best bet when bringing home leftovers.  However, without all the traditional side dishes, the turkey just seems to lose some of its center stage appeal.  This tomato, pesto, and mozzarella combo is just the ticket to bringing new life and flavor to your post Turkey Day sandwich!  And the best part?  Using tomatoes instead of bread means you aren't adding to the mess of carbs you gobbled down yesterday!  This little gem is warm and melty and intended to eat with a fork!  

Post Thanksgiving Turkey "Sandwich"

Ingredients

tomato slices, thick cut
pesto 
mozzarella, shredded
turkey slices, thick cut


Instructions

Heat a small pan over medium heat.  Spray with olive oil mister.  

Spread pesto over one side of each tomato slice.

Place one tomato, pesto-side-up, in the pan.  Sprinkle mozzarella cheese, layer on the turkey, and top with the remaining tomato slice, pesto-side-down.  

Heat until warmed through, flipping (carefully!) once.  Look for signs that the cheese is starting to melt, and the skin on the tomato is blistering to know when it's ready to flip!

*Note: I recommend Bella Terra Organic Traditional Basil Pesto.  It has some fun ingredients like cashews and cheeses!
