Split a sub roll in half. Spread garlic aioli on one half of the bread.
Stir the cranberry sauce to make it more spreadable, then spread it on the other half of the bread.
Layer the prepared stuffing over the garlic aioli.
Pile the sliced roasted turkey on top of the stuffing.
Top the turkey with slices of baby swiss cheese.
Close the sandwich and serve with a side of warm turkey gravy for dipping.
Assemble fresh to order. Store cooked components separately in airtight containers in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat stuffing and gravy gently before assembling.
Assemble just before eating to prevent sogginess. Toast the roll lightly and spread aioli as a moisture barrier. Store components separately in the fridge and assemble fresh.
Substitute with mayo mixed with minced garlic, or use plain mayo with a drizzle of hot sauce for brightness.
Warm stuffing is traditional and adds comfort. Reheat it gently before layering. Cold stuffing works but won't meld as well with the other warm components.
Yes, but roasted turkey has better flavor and texture for this sandwich. If using deli turkey, increase quantity slightly as it's thinner and more compacted.
No—gravy dipping is essential to this sandwich. It adds moisture and ties all the Thanksgiving flavors together.
