Turkey, Goat Cheese, and Broccoli Pesto Shooter Style Sandwich
May 23, 2019

As the weather starts to defrost here in Boston, I feel the need to get outside as much as possible. That includes picnicking, whether it is just bringing some snacks up to my roof or actually traveling with the food. I am always on the lookout for new portable foods, and for this one I took a page from an old classic. A Shooters Sandwich originated over 100 years ago in England and was invented specifically to be portable. The original version has steak and mushrooms, but I of course put my own spin on it with Prime Fresh Lunch Meat Turkey, a broccoli pesto, roasted red peppers, and goat cheese.
The key to this sandwich is that it is weighed down overnight to really firm up. I brought slices with me several times over a weekend and it held together perfectly!













Turkey, Goat Cheese, and Broccoli Pesto Shooter Style Sandwich
- Pesto
- 1 cup broccoli florets roughly chopped
- 3/4 cup toasted cashews
- 1 clove Garlic grated
- 3 ounces aged cheddar cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper
- Sauce
- 1/2 cup Mustard
- 1/4 cup relish
- 1 tablespoon Hot Sauce
- Sandwich
- large round bread boule
- 16 ounces Prime Fresh Turkey Lunch Meat 2 packages
- 4 ounces Goat Cheese
- 1 Roasted Red Pepper jarred or fresh
Instructions
- Put the pesto ingredients into the food processor and blend until smooth.
- Mix the sauce ingredients in a bowl until combined.
- Slice the top 1/4 off the bread. Hollow out the bread, remove the filling until it is mostly crust. (I made breadcrumbs with the bread middle)
- Brush the sauce all around the insides of the bread (including the lid!)
- Layer the first package of turkey on the bottom. Top with the roasted red pepper in an even layer.
- Spread the goat cheese on next, this step can be a little harder cause cause the goat cheese can be tough to work with and sticky.
- Spread the pesto on as the next layer. You may not use all of it.
- Top with the remaining turkey. If you have any extra turkey due to having a smaller bread, that’s ok because the Prime Fresh packages are re-sealable!
- Put the top back on the bread and wrap the sandwich with parchment. Put it in the fridge and put something heavy on top, I used a cast iron pot filled with random things from my fridge.
- The next day, remove the sandwich from the fridge and pack it up to travel. Slice in to triangles when you are ready to use.
