I made turkey sandwiches with an arugula(and basil)-white-bean pesto. And I also made shoe-string daikonradish fries. I also experimented with different ways to grill the sandwiches.
I made a peso based on the recipe from Oh She Glows. I followed the basic premise of the recipe with a few changes. First of all, I doubled the garlic. Also, while I had a loose cup of basil (fresh from Meredith's garden) the recipe called for a packed cup. So I also added arugula. And I used great-northern beans instead ofnavy/cannellini beans.
I also did end up adding a bit of olive oil. Maybe 2 tsp (2 points plus). It needed some smoothness.
I really liked the recipe except that it was salty even with using only the 1/2 tsp (bottom of her range).

Final spread with some pepper:
I made the sandwiches with marble rye (2 pp/slice). I sprayed the outsides with butter pam and then coated both sides with the pesto. I then added some sliced sweet bell peppers (so sweet), Trader Joes Sliced Turkey and the rest of the bread

Assembly:
Assembled:
I followed the idea ofthe jicama fries[@rev]but with a daikon radish. I was afraid it wouldn't be very good since they were really strange raw but they were_okay_ cooked. Not amazing but just okay. Iwouldn't rush to use daikon again. Other radishes may work but this was a bit too funky
I tried two different ways to grill the sandwiches since I tossed the panini maker. The first method was with a grill pan and a hot heave pan on top. I think this_could_ work but I may have been too afraid of burning them and had to heat too low. Itdid crisp and press pretty well though flipping it was a bit hard.
The second one was to forgo grilling and try toasting the whole thing. This have the nicest bread on the outside but it was too cool in the middle. And wasn't pressed at all.

On the stove with the pans:
This meal wasn't too bad. I made two sandwiches though only ate 1-1/2 of them.

Can of white beans: 8
Assorted oil: 4
