Turkey and Focaccia
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Turkey
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, combine fennel seeds, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture over the turkey breast evenly. Place the turkey in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Make the Monstarda
In a small bowl, mix together orange zest, juice, and Calabrian chili paste to create a spreadable monstarda. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
Assemble the Sandwich
On one slice of focaccia, layer sliced turkey, brie cheese, arugula, and a generous spread of the orange Calabrian monstarda. Top with another slice of focaccia and press down gently.
Serve
Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately, or grill it for a few minutes on each side for a warm, toasty finish.
