Roasted Turkey Breast with Parsley Pesto with Capers on Pane Rustico Recipe
Roasted Turkey Breast with Parsley Pesto with Capers on Pane Rustico
Once you have a roasted turkey breast on hand, you will be astonished at the number of ways you will find to use it. This is just one very simple example.
The capers in the pesto make a sizable contribution. If you don't have parsley pesto, stir capers into a flavored mayonnaise. Or use olive paste or plain pesto. The point is to use the spread, whatever it might be, to provide a burst of big flavor for the turkey and bread. Pane rustico is a crusty rustic bread traditionally baked in a wood-fired oven. Look for it in specialty markets.
Ingredients
- 6 slices of pane rustico
- Roasted Breast of Turkey
- Parsley Pesto with Capers
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Toast the bread for 5 minutes. Remove and cut the slices in half.
- Trim the turkey breast of all gristle and discard the skin. Cut the meat into one-half-inch-thick slices, cutting on the diagonal.
- To assemble the panini, spread 1 tablespoon of the pesto on each piece of bread. Arrange 1 or 2 slices of turkey on top, and then a dollop more of the pesto.
