Turkey & Cheese Hero Recipe

Prep the roll

Hold the roll horizontally and slice it open lengthwise, keeping one side hinged if desired. If you prefer a warm sandwich, preheat a skillet over medium and toast the cut sides lightly in 1 teaspoon olive oil for 1–2 minutes until golden; otherwise proceed without toasting.

Make the dressing

In a small bowl combine 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano. Whisk until smooth and set aside.

Assemble cheese and turkey

Lay 2 slices provolone on the bottom half of the roll. Layer 6 ounces of sliced roasted turkey over the cheese, arranging slices so they overlap slightly to cover the length of the roll.

Add vegetables

Place 2 leaves of green leaf lettuce on top of the turkey. Add 4 slices of tomato evenly along the sandwich, then top with 4 rings of red onion and 4 dill pickle slices.

Dress and finish

Spread the prepared mayonnaise-mustard dressing on the top half of the roll. Close the sandwich and press gently to compress. If you toasted the roll, optionally return the closed sandwich to the skillet for 30–60 seconds per side to warm through and slightly melt the cheese.

Slice and serve

Cut the hero on a diagonal into two equal portions. Serve immediately while the bread is still slightly warm, or wrap for later. Offer extra pickles or a side of chips if desired.
