Prep Time 10 minutes
Servings 1 large sandwich

Ingredients

  • 1 10' baguette doesn't have to be exact
  • 2 tablespoon mayo
  • 1 tablespoon honey mustard (or whatever kind you like)
  • 4 slices provolone
  • ¼ pound thinly shaved turkey
  • 6 thin slices vine ripe tomato
  • ½ cup shredded lettuce
  • ¼ small red onion thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup banana peppers patted dry
  • ¼ cup dill pickle slices
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp finishing olive oil
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Carefully cut your baguette in half - trying not to cut it all the way through so that it stays together easier. Place the split baguette in the middle of a piece of parchment or wax paper.
  • Add mayo and mustard and smear it in to both interior halves. You can add more or less (or none at all!) depending on your personal preferences.
  • Add a layer of provolone, followed by turkey. I recommend crumpling it to create volume and texture.
  • Add tomatoes and a pinch of salt.
  • Top with lettuce, onion, banana peppers and dill pickle coins.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar (more or less depending on personal preferences) then hit it with a few pinches of salt and a few cranks of fresh cracked pepper.
  • Use the bak of a knife to tuck all the ingredients in then close the sandwich. Roll the sandwich with the parchment paper to keep it all together then tuck the edges in like a burrito. Cut the sandwich in half then serve or place in the fridge.
