Ingredients
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
8 ounces ground turkey
12 ounces sweet Italian turkey sausage, removed from casings
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 thin slices pancetta
4 ounces sliced Italian fontina cheese
Four 3-by-3-by-1/2-inch squares focaccia, split and lightly toasted
1 plum tomato, sliced
1 cup baby arugula
Directions
- Mix the mayonnaise with the garlic in a small bowl and set aside. Using your hands, mix together the turkey and turkey sausage in a large bowl until just combined. Form this mixture into four 1-inch-thick patties.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and pancetta slices and cook the pancetta on both sides until crisp, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and reserve.
- Place the same skillet over medium-high heat and add the burgers. Cook, turning once, until cooked all the way through, about 5 minutes per side. Top with the fontina and cook until just melted.
- To serve, place the burgers on the focaccia bottoms. Top with tomato slices, pancetta and arugula. Spread the focaccia tops with garlic mayonnaise, set on top of the burgers and serve.
