Instructions

Step 1: Slice the 1 soft sandwich roll horizontally but not all the way through, creating a hinge. Spread 1 tbsp mayonnaise evenly on the bottom half and 1 tbsp spicy brown mustard on the top half.
Step 2: Layer 5 oz sliced turkey breast evenly over the mayonnaise on the bottom half of the roll.
Step 3: Place 2 slices Swiss cheese directly over the turkey, followed by 2 fresh leaf lettuce pieces and 2 tomato slices.
Step 4: Close the sandwich carefully and press gently to compact the layers.
Step 5: Serve immediately or wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 4 hours to let flavors meld.
