1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 scallions including green tops, chopped
Salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
2 tablespoons milk
1 egg, beaten to mix
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1/4 pound provolone cheese, sliced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons pesto, store-bought or homemade
1 10- inch round or 8-by-10-inch rectangle of focaccia
1/2 pound tomatoes, sliced

1
In a medium bowl, combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, scallions, 3/4 teaspoon salt, the pepper, milk, and egg. Form the mixture into four patties, each about 1-inch thick.
2
In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the turkey burgers and cook for 5 minutes. Turn and then top each burger with the provolone cheese. Cook until just done, about 6 minutes longer.
3
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and the pesto. Cut the focaccia into quarters. Cut each piece in half horizontally. Spread the cut surfaces of each piece with the pesto mayonnaise.
4
Top the bottoms of the focaccia with the turkey burgers and then the tomato slices. Sprinkle the tomato with a pinch of salt. Cover with the top piece of focaccia.
5
Menu Suggestions: Burgers go best with other finger food--oven-roasted potato wedges and raw carrot or fennel sticks, for example.
6
Wine Recommendation: This meaty sandwich should be paired with a fresh, full-flavored red, perhaps one made from the versatile, food-friendly barbera grape. Several are imported from Italy's Piedmont region.
