Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 individual ciabatta rolls, sliced in half lengthwise
Spicy aioli (see recipe below)
4 slices picante provolone
3 roasted red peppers, sliced into strips (about 1 cup)
1 pound thinly sliced smoked turkey breast
1 cup tightly packed fresh basil leaves
3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Calabrian chili paste
Kosher salt

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the ciabatta rolls on a rimmed baking sheet with the cut side facing upwards. Bake until lightly toasted, 7 to 10 minutes.
Arrange the bread, toasted side up, on a work surface and divide the spicy aioli on all the halves evenly. On each of the bottom halves place 1 slice of cheese, ripping in half if necessary to make the cheese fit the bread. On top of the cheese, layer the peppers, followed by the turkey. Divide the basil evenly on each of the top halves, pressing slightly to adhere to the aioli. Place the tops of the sandwiches on, then cut the sandwiches diagonally and serve.
Whisk together the mayonnaise, chili paste and ¼ teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Refrigerate aioli until ready to assemble the sandwiches.
