Focaccia Turkey Bacon Club
"I use a large foccacia loaf to make one big sandwich that can be sliced into appropriate serving sizes. My husband and son can have larger size sandwiches, while my daughter and I can have smaller sizes. I also use this recipe for entertaining, by making several large sandwiches and then slicing them into smaller size servings and securing with colorful toothpicks."

4
ingredients
- 1 large round focaccia bread
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 6 slices smoked provolone cheese
- 1⁄2 lb oven-roasted turkey breast (from deli)
- 12 slices cooked bacon (or turkey bacon)
- 1 cup fresh basil leaf (or spinach or arugula)
- 1 large sliced tomatoes
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled and sliced thin
directions
- 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.

By day, I am a technical writer who writes online help and other documentation for software programs developed for gas, water, and electric utilities. In the evenings, I love to cook and get inventive in the kitchen. I also enjoy hiking, camping, and traveling with my husband, our two teenagers, and our dog, Dharma.
With two athletic teens, we spend a lot of time at school sports events. My son is on the high school varsity wrestling team, which placed sixth this year in the state. From November - March we live and breath wrestling. Then, in March we switch to jr. high school track and field, which is my daughter's sport.
I am a Christian and am very involved in many activities at our church and in our community. We belong to a small "country" church where we have found a wonderful church family that we love. Twice a year, the church holds a chicken BBQ for the community. The chicken is cooked on huge grills specially built for these events. The recipes used for the chicken, potatoes, cole slaw, rolls, and cookies date back to the early 1900s when the church first started holding chicken BBQs. The food is always fabulous and there are never any leftovers.
We recently moved to South-Central Pennsylvania, which is where many Amish and Mennonite communities are located. We have enjoyed trying different Amish-style foods and restaurants and learning about their culture and life-style.
