Turkey Sandwiches with Roasted Romas, Fresh Mozzarella, and Arugula-Walnut Pesto
Annabelle Breakey
This time of year, Romas are the best fresh tomato option. Roasting concentrates their flavor, making them an intense foil for fresh mozzarella. A glass of Sauvignon Blanc or crisp Viognier blends in beautifully.
