Method

Turkey Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Turkey

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Rub the turkey with olive oil, and season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Place the turkey on a roasting rack in a roasting pan.

  2. 2

    Roast the Turkey

    Roast the turkey in the preheated oven for approximately 3 to 4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste the turkey every hour with the drippings from the pan.

  3. 3

    Rest and Pull

    Once done, remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 30 minutes. Pull the turkey meat apart into shreds using two forks.

Coleslaw Preparation

  1. 4

    Mix the Coleslaw

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and carrots. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

  2. 5

    Combine

    Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots. Toss well to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the sub rolls in half. Spread a layer of mayo on each roll. Add a generous portion of the pulled turkey on the bottom half, followed by a slice of provolone cheese. Top with coleslaw and drizzle with Russian dressing.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Close the sandwiches and serve immediately, or wrap them in foil to keep warm until serving.
