1. Find yourself some nice Torta or Cabbacia rolls. Slice each roll in half and lay them out on a large cookie sheet you have lined with tin foil.
2. In a small bowl combine 1/2 cup pesto and 1/3 cup mayonnaise.
3. Spread the pesto/mayo mixture over both sides of each roll.
4. Thinly slice 1 tomato and about half of a red onion.
6. Cover the tomatoes and onions with a nice big slice of provolone cheese.
7. Bake these beauties in the oven at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Turn the oven to broil, and let the cheese get nice and golden brown. Be careful here, you don’t want to scorch the heck out of them, which can happen quickly, so keep a close eye, won’t you?
8. Put each of the sandwich halves together…
and enjoy!
Please note, this sandwich goes well with a salad made of mixed greens, strawberries, blueberries, red onion, feta cheese, cinnamon pecans and Raspberry Poppy Seed Vinaigrette.
PS….Can you believe how WONDERFUL blueberries have been this year.
PPS…I can’t help but put them in everything.
PPPS…they don’t really work that well if you pop them into stir fry or meat loaf. Just FYI.

Recipe inspired by Costco
I make these all the time! You are missing the basil, garlic Mayo though! I purchases a basil infused olive oil from amazon and mince garlic to infuse. Then mix that into the mayo. My gosh what a difference that makes! Although this recipe is great, and simplistic, that basil garlic olive oil takes the sandwich to a whole other level!
I think it’s rite ingredients.. however you don’t mix the mayo and pesto… Pesto is on one side mayo on the other.. or it could be a white sauce and may not even be mayo…. Needs more pesto onions and tomatoes?
Hello, I believe I can follow this easy recipe, thanks. I have a question. I picked up two of these at Costco last night and had people over. I put them in fridge. Would taking the two sides apart and following your bake instructions be the best was to re-heat? I do not like microwaving anything with bread. It goes “gummy and the ends are like chewing plastic. Advice would be welcome.
I can’t believe I’ve been making this sandwich for over 5 years now. It’s still one of our favorite meals.
Wow I just tried this sandwich at Costco this past weekend! I’m going to make this for dinner tonight with your recipe! I made my own pesto and a big bowl of homemade veggie pasta salad as my side dish
I made these and they turned out perfect…. Don’t be afraid the turkey (or anything else) will dry out. It doesn’t. Bake them for recommended time.
I made this using Costco rosemary parmesan bread. Even better than the bun. After heating and broiling the outside of the bread was nicely toasted
Wondering how long does these sandwich last for it been in my fridge since Saturday today Tuesday
