Camping For Foodies Dinner Camping Recipes: This turkey pesto sandwich recipe requires no prep and is fast to cook.

Remove ingredients from refrigerator, allow to get to room temperature before toasting.
Prepare your campfire, camp stove or oven broiler for cooking.
Butter one side of all 8 bread slices.
Spread equal amounts of the pesto on the non-buttered side of 4 of the bread slices.
Lay those 4 bread slices (butter side down) on the pre-heated griddle (or cast iron skillet or baking sheet).
Evenly divide the turkey, cheese and basil leaves, layering the ingredients on the bread slices on the griddle.
Top the layered sandwiches with the 4 remaining bread slices, make sure you have placed the buttered side out.
You may need to cover the sandwiches with a lid or foil to slightly melt the cheese.
Cook over a medium heat until the bread is toasted, then, flip the sandwiches to toast the other side. Enjoy
