Turkey Polpettone Sandwiches

• 2 pounds ground turkey
• 1 cup soft fresh bread crumbs
• 2 egg yolks
• 4 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
• 2 ounces whole-milk mozzarella cheese, cut into 4 equal pieces, plus 2 cups grated
• Olive oil, for frying
• 1 (32-ounce) jar of your favorite marinara
• 6 sandwich rolls

1. Put the turkey in a bowl.
2. Add all the remaining ingredients except for the mozzarella and work them in gently by hand.
3. Divide the mixture into 12 equal pieces.
4. Flatten each piece into a round patty.
5. Top 6 of the patties with a piece of mozzarella and then with a second patty, making 6 polpettones.
6. By hand, press the edges together to seal them and to make patties of even thickness.
7. Sprinkle both sides of the patties with salt and pepper.
8. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over moderate heat.
9. Add olive oil to a depth of 1/8-inch.
10. When the oil is hot, add the 6 patties.
11. Cook on 1 side until lightly browned, about 1 1/2 minutes, then turn and cook on the second side until browned, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
12. While the patties are cooking, heat the marinara sauce in a deep skillet.
13. Add the cooked patties to the sauce.
14. (Or drain the oil from the skillet and add the tomato sauce directly to the patties.)
15. Put a few tablespoons of grated mozzarella on top of each patty.
16. Simmer the patties in the sauce for about 4 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
17. Assemble the sandwich: Put a few tablespoons of sauce and 1 polpettone on a split roll.
18. Top with a little more sauce and serve immediately.
19. Michael's Notes: For the lightest polpettone, work the mixture as little as possible.
