Serves 4
Salsa:
1 small red onion, halved and cut in ¼-inch slices
2 medium tomatoes, each sliced into 4 rounds
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

2 teaspoons chili powder
![]()
1 teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 focaccia
About 12 roasted turkey slices
1. To prepare the salsa: Place the onion and tomato slices on a baking sheet and drizzle with a tablespoon olive oil. Place on top oven rack under a hot broiler and broil until softened and the edges begin to brown. Turn the onions occasionally for even cooking. It's not necessary to turn the tomatoes.
2. Remove from the oven and transfer to a bowl. Stir in the remaining tablespoon olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper.
3. To prepare the sandwich: In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, lime juice and olive oil.
4. Slice the focaccia into halves: Scoop out a little of the crumbs from the top half. Brush cut surfaces with olive oil mixture. Arrange the turkey slices on the bottom half and spread the salsa on top. Replace the top of the focaccia, pressing down lightly. Cut into quarters and serve.
