TURKEY FOCACCIA SANDWICH

Category: Sandwiches

1 1-lbs loaf brown-and-serve focaccia bread
4 or 5 marinated artichoke hearts, reserving oil
6 slices salami or thuringer
1/2 lbs cooked turkey or smoked turkey (leftover or deli meat), sliced
5 slices provolone cheese

Preheat oven to 350 Partially bake focaccia, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool while preparing remaining ingredients. Keep oven on.

When bread is cool, split it horizontally through center, creating 2 rounds. Slice artichoke hearts into thin strips. Drizzle some of the olive oil from the jar of artichoke hearts onto the cut surfaces of the focaccia; set aside. (Or spread with a thin layer of mayonnaise, mustard, butter or margarine, if preferred.)

Layer ingredients in this order on bottom slice of loaf: salami, turkey, provolone cheese and artichoke hearts. Drizzle with a little more of the olive oil. Replace top half of loaf; drizzle, if desired, with more olive oil.

Place on a baking sheet and bake another 10 to 15 minutes, until cheese has melted and top is brown. Or place in an ungreased electric skillet and grill on both sides on low heat until filling is hot. Cut into wedges for serving.
