Turkey Focaccia Club Recipes

Steps:

• Bread: Use 3 slices of a good white sandwich bread (pain au lait or Pullman loaves are ideal). Be sure to toast it!
• Lettuce: Bibb and Boston lettuce both have nice small, soft leaves that fit well on the sandwich; shredded iceberg can be unruly.
• Tomatoes: Add 2 slices of tomato to each layer of a club; season with salt and pepper before you continue building the sandwich.
• Turkey: Fresh roasted turkey is key. Rub a 2 1/4-pound skinless, boneless turkey breast with olive oil; sprinkle generously with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Roast 10 minutes at 425˚ F, then reduce to 350˚ F and roast until the internal temperature is 160˚ F, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool, then slice.
• Mayonnaise: Spread a thick layer of mayo on each slice of toasted bread.
• Bacon: You'll want 3 slices per sandwich (1 1/2 slices in each layer). Halve the slices first, then cook in a skillet over medium heat until crisp.

Steps:

• Preheat oven broiler.
• Slice the foccacia bread in half horizontally so you have a top and a bottom piece. Place on a cookie sheet with the cut sides up.
• Mix the olive oil, garlic powder, and oregano in a small bowl. Brush each cut side of the bread round evenly with the oil mixture.
• Place under the broiler until the bread slightly browns (watch closely - this only takes a few minutes).
• Remove the bottom bread section from the cookie sheet. Place the provolone cheese evenly on the top bread section. Return to the broiler until the cheese is melted (again, watch closely). Turn off the oven.
• Finish building the sandwich on the bottom bread section by piling on the basil, avacado, turkey, and tomato. Add the top bread section, and slice into servings.
• I like to serve this sandwich as a meal with Italian chicken tortellini soup or tomato soup.

Steps:

• In small bowl, combine mayonnaise, cranberry sauce, mustard, pecans and honey.
• Cut bread in half horizontally, then spread both sides with cranberry pecan mayonnaise.
• Layer with lettuce, turkey cheese, tomato and bacon.
• Replace bread top, cut into wedges and enjoy!

Steps:

• Yield: 20 sandwiches.

Steps:

Steps:

• Drain and seed chipotle peppers. Combine chipotle peppers and mayonnaise in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until blended.
