  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Sandwiches

  • 4 Pretzel Buns
  • 12 Vegan Turkey Slices (I use Tofurkey)
  • 1 Vine Tomato
  • 2 cups Lettuce
  • 4 Slices Vegan Cheese (I use Violife Cheddar)
  • 2 tbsp Vegan Butter or Oil
  • 1/4 cup Water

For the Pesto Mayo

  • 1/4 cup Vegan Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Vegan Pesto Sauce

Instructions

For the Sandwiches

  1. Slice the tomato.
  2. Toast the buns (sliced sides down) in a lightly buttered skillet on medium heat to your desired darkness.
  3. Remove the buns from the skillet and add more oil or butter.
  4. Add the vegan turkey slices (about 6 at a time) to the skillet and brown them on both sides for about 1-2 minutes. Remove the turkey slices from the pan and set them aside. Repeat with the remaining slices.
  5. When all of the slices are browned, stack about 3 slices of meat together in the skillet and top each stack with a slice of cheese.
  6. Pour the 1/4 cup of water onto the open space on the skillet, trying not to touch the meat and cheese. Cover with a lid and continue to cook until the cheese melts.
  7. Remove the vegan turkey and cheese from the skillet and assemble the sandwiches as you desire.

For the Pesto Mayo

  1. In a small bowl, add the vegan mayonnaise and pesto.
  2. Mix the mayo and pesto until smooth and fully combined.
