For the Sandwich

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Prepare the Basil Mayo: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, chopped basil leaves, lemon juice, sea salt, and a dash of pepper until well combined. Chill for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors blend beautifully.
- Toast the Ciabatta Rolls: Preheat your oven to broil. Brush the cut sides of the ciabatta rolls with olive oil, placing them cut side up on a baking sheet. Broil for about 2 minutes, watching closely until they turn golden brown.
- Layer on the Turkey: Once the rolls are toasted, lay the bottom halves on a serving platter and evenly distribute the turkey sandwich meat on each half.
- Cheese It Up: Place two slices of provolone cheese on top of the turkey for each sandwich. Cover with the top halves of the rolls and return to the oven. Broil for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is beautifully bubbly.
- Add the Basil Mayo: Take the sandwiches out of the oven and slather a generous amount of the chilled basil mayo on the top halves.
- Assemble and Serve: Complete your sandwich by placing the top halves on the turkey and cheese layers. Serve immediately while warm, and consider pairing with crispy chips or a refreshing salad.
Notes
For best results, chill the basil mayo for at least 10 minutes before using, and be generous with the turkey and cheese layers.
