If you’re looking for a quick, satisfying lunch that’s both low carb and Weight Watchers friendly, this Turkey Pesto Melt checks all the boxes.

It’s ready in about 10 minutes, uses simple ingredients, and feels indulgent without blowing your points.

Made with Aunt Millie’s Live Carb Smart Bread, lean turkey, and just the right amount of cheese and pesto, this sandwich is perfect for busy weekdays, work-from-home lunches, or even a light dinner.

The Ingredients

Aunt Millie’s Live Carb Smart Bread: This bread is low in net carbs and high in fiber, helping you stay full longer while still enjoying a soft, sandwich-style bread that fits easily into a Weight Watchers plan.

Lean Turkey Breast: Turkey is packed with lean protein, which helps support muscle health and keeps hunger in check. Choosing 99% fat-free turkey keeps points and saturated fat low.

Basil Pesto: Pesto adds bold flavor with just a small amount. Basil provides antioxidants, and olive oil contributes heart-healthy fats. Measuring it carefully keeps this sandwich WW-friendly.

Sargento Ultra Thin Swiss Cheese: Ultra thin slices are perfect for portion control. You still get that classic Swiss flavor and creaminess with fewer calories and points compared to regular cheese slices.

Fresh Spinach: Spinach boosts the volume of the sandwich without adding points. It’s rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, making this lunch more nutritious and satisfying.
