Instructions

1

Build the Sandwich

Spread pesto on the inner side of all four bread slices. Layer two slices of provolone and 2 ounces of turkey on the pesto side of two bread slices then close each sandwich.

2

Butter the Bread

Spread softened butter evenly on the outside of both sides of each sandwich for an even golden crust.

3

Grill the Sandwich

Heat a skillet over medium heat and place sandwiches in the pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side pressing gently with a spatula until the bread is deep golden and the cheese is fully melted.
