Layered Italian Sandwich recipe

Layered Italian Sandwich

Love the layers, but the real deli sandwich secret is the basil pesto slathered on both sides of the bread.

Makes: 6 sandwiches

1 round focaccia bread (about 8 inches in diameter)
1 container (7 ounces) refrigerated basil pesto
4 ounces sliced hard salami
6 lettuce leaves
4 plum (Roma) tomatoes, sliced
6 ounces thinly sliced smoked turkey
4 ounces sliced provolone cheese

1. Cut focaccia horizontally in half. Spread pesto on both cut sides of focaccia.

2. Layer salami, lettuce, tomatoes, turkey and cheese on bottom of focaccia; add top of focaccia. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour to blend flavors. Cut into 6 wedges.
