Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Warm 6 soft sandwich rolls wrapped in foil for 10 minutes to soften.
Step 2: Slice each roll horizontally and spread about 1/4 cup creamy mashed potatoes evenly on the bottom halves.
Step 3: Layer 2 oz sliced deli turkey on top of the mashed potatoes on each roll.
