- Divide the basil mayonnaise between the insides of both top buns, and spread out in an even layer. Add them to the sandwiches to close.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure to watch the rolls closely so they don't burn.
- Costco actually mixes a bit of their Kirkland brand pesto sauce with mayonnaise to make their signature sandwich spread, and you can do that for authenticity's sake. However, we prefer this basil mayo to get the same flavor without the greasiness as the hot sandwich can cause the pesto version to run.
- You can customize these by using more or less turkey or cheese and adding more or less of the basil mayo. You could also add other toppings like sliced tomato.
