Stuffed Sourdough Sandwich

This big and delicious hot sandwich is great served for supper—or for snacking while watching the big game.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 (15 to 16-ounce) round loaf sourdough bread
1 (7-ounce) container BUITONI® Pesto with Basil
8 ounces thinly sliced smoked turkey
1 roasted red pepper, peeled, seeded and cut into thin strips
1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
12 (1-ounce) slices provolone cheese

Cooking Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cut off top 1/3 of bread; set aside. Remove inside of bread, leaving a 3/4-inch wall. Spread half of pesto on inside of loaf; top with half the meat, pepper, tomato and cheese. Repeat layering, spreading remaining pesto on top of first layer of cheese. Replace top of bread; wrap bread in foil.
3. Bake for 40 minutes or until heated through. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting into wedges.
