Here’s a great way to use your basil. You’ll need some mesquite smoked turkey breast lunch meat, mayo, basil, parmesan cheese, and chopped roasted walnuts. Toast the inside of two slices of Italian bread. Place turkey breast on one slice. Spread the other with mayonnaise. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, the chopped basil (enough to cover the bread slice), and some chopped roasted walnuts. You can add lettuce and a slice of tomato if you like. Put the two slices together. I prefer at this point to toast the outside of the sandwich under the broiler or in a skillet. You can sprinkle in a bit of oat bran for fiber. It’s a bit messy to eat as the walnut pieces want to keep falling out but it is worth the bother. Delicious.
