Fresh Parmesan cheese; 4 large yellow onions; 6 tbsp. olive oil

Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2Lightly brush one side of the ciabatta rolls with melted butter. Line the entire bottom of the casserole dish by placing the buttered bread face down.

Step 3Spread half of the pesto over the bread in the casserole dish. Then layer with all the sliced turkey then with the caramelized onions. Top with smoked Gouda cheese then arugula.

Step 4Spread the remaining ciabatta roll with pesto and place pesto side down on top of the arugula.

Step 5Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until warmed through. Cut at the seams with a knife and serve warm.

Step 6To make the arugula pesto: Combine the arugula, salt, walnuts, garlic into a food processor. Pulse while drizzling the olive oil into the processor. Remove the mixture from the processor and put it into a bowl. Stir in the Parmesan cheese.

Step 7To make the caramelized onions: In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once heated add the sliced onion. Coat with oil and cook the onions, stirring occasionally but not frequently. The onions will start to brown over the next 15 minutes or so. Continue cooking, but stir more frequently. Total cook time is about 25 to 30 minutes.
