Who knows what a Turkey Pesto Sandwich Melt is? For those of you who don’t know, it’s honestly just a fancy grilled cheese sandwich.  Who doesn’t love an evenly cooked grilled cheese sandwich???  As a kid growing up, that was my favorite dish that could be cooked in no time.  After coming home from a long day at school, my mom would bless me with at least two.  Yes, I know, I sound like a fat girl, but that’s okay!  🙂

In this post, I wanted to recreate one of my childhood favorites into a full meal with some protein a.k.a MEAT!  I decided to add turkey and a few extras and voila!  A cheesy gooey Turkey Pesto Sandwich Melt!  I think it’s a winner because my husband devoured the whole thing before I could say lunch was ready.  LOL!  Gotta love the boo.

Try out these “modern” grilled cheese sandwiches and let me know what you think.

    This was such a fantastic sandwich! It felt like a treat because it was so so delicious and melty, but using turkey made it feel night and light. The pesto is such a refreshing addition.

    I love the savory flavor of the turkey combined with the creamy pesto and grilled bread – a perfect combination! And the grill marks on the bread look great!
