Let’s face it, most turkey sandwiches are, well, kinda boring. Dry turkey, plain bread, maybe a slice of cheese and some mayo – yawn. But not this bad boy. This sandwich is all about elevating the ordinary to the extraordinary.

- Romaine lettuce: Provides a refreshing crunch and a touch of green.
- Freshly ground pepper: A sprinkle adds a bit of bite.
- Mayonnaise (optional): For those who like a creamy touch.
- Mustard (your choice): I prefer chipotle mustard, but any variety will do.
- Red onion (optional): For the daring, adds a sharp, pungent kick.
The Grand Finale: Assembling the Masterpiece
Now, the moment of truth: assembling the sandwich. Spread the mustard on the bottom half of the hoagie roll and the mayonnaise on the top. Then, layer on the fillings in the order listed above, creating a beautiful, multi-colored masterpiece.
