Ingredients

  • 2 slices whole wheat bread
  • 2-4 slices Provolone cheese (or your favorite sliced cheese)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 4 ounces sliced or shaved deli turkey
  • Green leaf lettuce
  • 2 slices fresh tomatoes
  • salt and pepper
  • additional toppings (see options above)

Instructions

  • Lay out all ingredients.
    Spread mayonnaise on bread slices and layer 1-2 slices of cheese over the mayo (you want to cover the whole slice of bread with cheese so you may need to do 2 slices and overlap). Add sliced turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato, salt and pepper, and any other additional toppings.

Notes

  • For a better texture and a bulkier sandwich, fold the turkey slices and layer.
  • If your tomatoes are extra juicy, pat them dry before adding to the sandwich. Tomatoes are one of the biggest culprits for soggy sandwiches!
  • For best results, place cheese directly against the bread to create a barrier and help prevent sogginess.
