Ingredients:

1 loaf

Focaccia bread

1/2 c.

"Creamy Pesto Sauce"

1 lb.

turkey lunchmeat

1 lb.

ham lunchmeat

1 (16 oz.) pkg.

sliced provolone cheese

1 (14.5 oz.) can

artichoke hearts, drained and sliced

1/4 c.

olive oil, divided, for grilling

Directions:

Cut Focaccia loaf horizontally so you have two round discs. Spread “Creamy Pesto Sauce” evenly on cut sides of both halves of the bread. On the bottom half, layer: meats, cheese, and sliced artichoke hearts. Top with other half of bread. Cut sandwich into quarters and brush tops and bottoms with small amount of olive oil.

Brush bottom of sauté or frying pan with olive oil and place on burner over medium heat. When pan reaches desired temperature (oil in pan will “ripple” but not smoke), add sandwiches and grill until cheese melts, flipping sandwiches halfway through cooking time (about 3 minutes on each side).
