What is a ciabatta?
If you live stateside and know your breads, then you'll know it's the italian "slipper" bread that is all the rage on sandwich menus. In Italy it's the same, minus the hype, plus the footwear that you use in the house and...and...something you might say to shut someone up. Chiudi la ciabatta! Shut your mouth, or better yet, shut your trap!
I thought it stopped there until I came across ciabatta di tacchino at the supermarket. A 5/8-inch thick turkey burger filled with cheese and shaped like a slipper. It was so good that I gobbled it all up.

That looks dangerously delicious! :-)
Pesto sauce? Looks so delish!!
One of my vices are breads...the others are cheese, wine, sweets & chocolate.

I love ciabatta bread! Easily one of my favorites! But it can be quite tough from time to time...
And is that pesto on the turkey burger?! It looks so good!

I love me some Ciabatta most days, girl! I was going to ask what everyone has already asked and that is, is that a pesto rub on your turkey burger? My goodness that looks good! :)
now that's the kind of slipper I'd like to eat :)
Saretta - especially more so with that sourdough wholewheat loaf of bread. It's not often that we find a good bread source around here.
Murissa - and world travel!
Recipes Club - yes that is pesto....out of a bottle. Easy to do but I can't remember the last time I made some instead of purchasing.
Bella - yep, pesto from Liguria no less. Stamped with a D.O.P. (Denominazione di origine protetta/Protected Geographical Status) seal of approval.
Kat - I'm waiting for a rabbit slipper version. ^-^
That sure looks tasty Rowena.
You can whack me with that slippah any time!
LindyLou - tasty and juicy! First time for buying turkey burgers.
Nate - I think these would be an instant hit back home!
