Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 loaf French bread, split lengthwise
1/4 lb smoked turkey (thinly sliced)
3 -4 slices bacon, cooked and drained
1/2 medium maui onions (minced) or 1/2 medium sweet onion (minced)
2 ounces provolone cheese (thinly sliced) or 2 ounces swiss cheese (thinly sliced)

1/2 minced garlic clove
1 tablespoon olive oil
dried basil leaves

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F.
  • Slice tomatoes as thin as possible, generously grind pepper over the top and put into fridge to keep cool.
  • In a skillet, over medium-high heat, sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until crisp-tender. (I will usually start to build the sandwich while garlic and onions are cookin').
  • Remove garlic onion mixture from skillet, reserving the oil.
  • Layer the turkey first followed by the Bacon then pour the garlic & onion mixture over the turkey and bacon on the bottom half of French bread, drizzle oil mixture lightly over the top and then sprinkle with basil.
  • Top with cheese and remaining half of bread.
  • Wrap loaf in foil.
  • Bake at 375°F for 25 minutes & cheese is melted.
  • unwrap and remove bottom slice of bread (upside down) add the cool, peppered sliced tomatoes, close it up and eat that bird!
