Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together a generous amount of pesto, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and minced garlic. Add a pinch of granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper to taste, whisking until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Take your ciabatta bread and slice it in half lengthwise, placing the cut sides facing up. Hollow out a small amount of the soft bread from the top half, then brush the cut sides with the prepared pesto vinaigrette.
  3. On the bottom half of the ciabatta, layer sliced turkey breast, prosciutto, sharp provolone cheese, oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, and arugula. Drizzle additional vinaigrette over the arugula.
  4. Place the hollowed top half of the ciabatta back on top of the ingredients and gently press down.
  5. Slice the sandwich into 4 to 6 pieces, securing with toothpicks if desired, and arrange on a platter to serve.
