Ingredients

  • 2 slices whole wheat bread
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil mayo
  • 1 tablespoon pesto
  • ⅛ red onion
  • 2 sun-dried tomatoes
  • 3 marinated artichoke quarters
  • 3 ounces turkey
  • 1 ½ ounces gouda cheese

Instructions

  •  Saute onion slices in 1 teaspoon butter until tender, about 3-5 minutes. 
  • Butter one side of each piece of bread with 1 teaspoon butter. 
  • To the plain side of one piece, add mayo. To the plain side of the other piece, add pesto.  
  • On top of the pesto side of one of the pieces of bread, add grilled onions, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, turkey, and top with gouda. Finally, top with the other bread slice with the mayo side down and the butter side up.  
  • Place the sandwich on a skillet on medium-low heat, grill for 3-5 minutes until bread is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the sandwich over and repeat on the other side.  
  • Serve immediately. 

Notes

Rather than a skillet, you can use a George Foreman grill or a panini press to make these sandwiches.
