Turkey Rosemary Pesto Panini with Tomato Coconut Soup

I’m a creature of habit. I eat the same sandwich at the Atlanta airport every time! It makes each trip for me. Atlanta is the first stop on nearly every trip out of Memphis so I get the opportunity frequently! In fact if you’ve followed me long you too know about the Turkey Pesto Panini on gluten-free bread paired with a pineapple kale smoothie! So I decided to make my own version of this sandwich and pair it with my favorite tomato soup recipe. And of course gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free, and peanut free.
Rosemary Nut Free Pesto

2 cups fresh Rosemary chopped

3 garlic cloves smashed 

juice of lemon squeezed (I used Myer lemon) 

1 teaspoon of lemon zest

1/3 Cup olive oil

Salt & Pepper to taste

Place all ingredients in food processor except olive oil. Drizzle olive oil as it processes. If it seems a bit dry add more olive oil. Keeps a few days in the frig!
