ingredients

• INGREDIENTS

• 1⁄2 lb lean ground turkey
• olive oil
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon cumin
• 1 cup arugula
• 1⁄2 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
• 1⁄2 cup thinly sliced red onion
• 6 slices sourdough bread

• For the pesto

• 2 cups fresh basil
• 1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese
• 1⁄4 cup olive oil
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1⁄4 cup walnuts

directions

1. For the turkey mince, sauté ground turkey in a pan with olive oil, salt, cumin, and pepper for about 5-8 minutes until completely cooked through. Set aside.
2. Create pesto: lightly toast walnuts in a dry skillet for 3 minutes or until just starting to become fragrant. Blitz together all ingredients for pesto except olive oil in a food processor, then slowly stream in the olive oil until a coarse paste is created.
3. Toast sourdough over a lightly oiled skillet or in the oven. Assemble sandwiches with onion, tomato, arugula, turkey mince, and a drizzle of pesto.
