Ingredients

- 1/4 cup chipotle mayo
- 1 cup lettuce
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
Instructions

- If desired, lightly toast the sub rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F for 2-3 minutes to add a crisp texture.
- Spread a generous layer of chipotle mayo on both the top and bottom inner surfaces of each sub roll, ensuring even coverage.
- Layer the smoked turkey breast evenly across the sub rolls, distributing 4 oz of turkey per sandwich.
- Add sliced tomatoes on top of the turkey, arranging them to cover the meat uniformly.
- Sprinkle sliced red onions over the tomatoes for added crunch and flavor.
- Top with fresh, crisp lettuce leaves to provide a refreshing texture and additional volume.

Tips
- Ingredient Prep: To make your cooking experience smoother, prep all your ingredients ahead of time. Wash and slice your tomato and red onion into thin, even pieces for a professional finish.
- Toasting the Rolls: For an added layer of flavor and texture, consider lightly toasting your sub rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F for 2-3 minutes. This step enhances the overall crunchiness and warmth of your sandwich.
- Chipotle Mayo Mastery: Don’t be shy with the chipotle mayo! Generously spread it on both sides of the sub rolls to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
- Layering Technique: When layering your ingredients, start with the turkey, followed by tomatoes, onions, and lettuce. This order helps keep the sandwich from getting soggy and maintains a delightful crunch.
- Presentation Matters: For a polished look, consider wrapping your finished sub in parchment paper or cutting it diagonally. This not only makes it easier to handle but also makes for an appealing presentation that will wow your guests!
