Costco Turkey and Provolone Sandwich
This post may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure policy.
Back in 2012, I saw my friend Jamie share a recipe for a sandwich she had at the Costco “food court” (that’s what I call it). Shortly after that, my hubby and oldest son had been at Costco and grabbed some lunch while they were there.
They were raving about a new sandwich they tried from Costco’s food court menu. It just happened to be this turkey and provolone sandwich. I decided I needed to do some research and to try the Costco Turkey and Provolone Sandwich for myself. The things I have to do for you, my wonderful readers, right?
I went to Costco and gave the sandwich a try. Delicious! I then went shopping at Costco for the ingredients to recreate the sandwich at home.
They have since removed this sandwich from the Costco food court menu. Unfortunately, they no longer sell the torta rolls for this sandwich either. Luckily, I have found some at my local Kroger grocery store. If I get the rolls from Costco, I just get the Artisan version they sell now.
You don’t have to get the ingredients from Costco. You can substitute with similar ingredients from your regular grocery store to make it. If you get the ingredients from Costco, you will have enough turkey and rolls to make this recipe twice. Then, you will have plenty pesto and provolone to use for other dishes.
My family loves these Costco hot turkey and provolone sandwich and gobbles them up. However, some members have their sandwich made without the onion and/or tomato. Silly picky eaters that live with at my house!
This is a great quick dinner to prepare, basically ready in 15-20 minutes. I’m so glad I can still enjoy this tasty sandwich whenever I want to!

Spread a spoonful of the pesto mixture on the cut side of the torta roll halves. Place two slices of the turkey on the bottom half of the roll.
On the top half of the roll, place a few tomato slices followed by a few red onion rings. Then, top with a slice of provolone cheese.
Place in a 400 degree oven on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes until the cheese has melted. Then, place on broil and broil for a just a bit to get the cheese bubbly and a little brown. Put the top and bottom of the sandwich together.
