8 slices hearty whole grain bread of choice, sliced sandwich style
3 T basil pesto
½ to ¼ lb roasted turkey breast, thinly sliced
1 roasted red bell pepper, stemmed, skinned, seeded, cut into strips
4 slices Colby-Jack cheese
Fresh black pepper, if desired
1 T extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

1. Arrange slices of bread on a flat work surface. Using a small spoon, divide pesto evenly among one side of slices. 2. Place even amounts of turkey, roasted red pepper strips, and cheese on 4 bread slices. Season with pepper, if desired. Top with remaining 4 bread slices. Lightly brush each sandwich with olive oil. 3. Heat a large skillet over med-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add sandwiches, and cook until bread is lightly toasted and cheese is melted, pressing occasionally with a large metal spatula or bottom of small heavy saucepan, about 4 min per side. Remove sandwiches from pan; slice in half on diagonal, serve immediately.
