Crafting the Perfect Italian Style Turkey Subs at Home

This past week, I decided to treat my husband (and myself!) to a truly exceptional meal with these incredible Italian Style Turkey Subs. It was a wonderful opportunity to reintroduce the comforting goodness of a hearty, flavorful sandwich. For this recipe, I specifically chose the Italian Style Herb Turkey Breast from Oscar Mayer’s new BOLD range, building upon its robust flavor with just a few simple, yet impactful, ingredients. The foundation was a fresh Italian bread loaf, layered with tender spinach, a rich marinara sauce, and plenty of gooey mozzarella cheese. The outcome? A magnificent sub sandwich that not only rivaled our favorite deli versions but also offered the unparalleled satisfaction of being made from scratch right here in our cozy home. It was an instant hit, proving that elevated flavors and gourmet experiences are perfectly achievable with convenience in mind.

As I was meticulously assembling these mouth-watering sandwiches, my husband, ever the culinary enthusiast, offered a brilliant suggestion: to add a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese not just inside, but also on top of the bread before baking. This seemingly small addition proved to be a game-changer! The cheese melted beautifully, creating a golden, slightly crispy crust that added an extra layer of texture and an even more satisfying cheesy flavor to the Italian bread loaf. It was a testament to how simple tweaks can elevate a dish from great to truly extraordinary. This unexpected touch became a delightful and essential element of our homemade Italian subs, enhancing every single bite.

In our household, we’re not always the biggest fans of raw spinach, but I always make an effort to incorporate this nutrient-dense green into our meals in creative ways. For these subs, I generously added about 4-5 spinach leaves to each sandwich. The beauty of this approach is that once the subs were baked, the spinach wilted down perfectly under the warm marinara and melted cheese, making it almost undetectable for picky eaters. Not only did it blend seamlessly into the flavors and textures, but it also provided a fantastic boost of iron and essential vitamins to this already delicious and satisfying sandwich. It’s a clever way to ensure everyone gets their greens without even noticing!

Now that your kitchen is filled with the tantalizing aroma of baked bread, herbs, and melted cheese, it’s time to enjoy the fruits of your labor! Are you ready to recreate this incredible culinary experience? Let’s dive into the full recipe for these easy and delectable Italian Style Turkey Subs, featuring the vibrant flavors of Oscar Mayer BOLD deli meat.

Italian Style Turkey Subs with Oscar Mayer BOLD

Created by: Kristy Still

These Italian Style Turkey Subs offer a burst of flavor that’s perfect for a quick lunch or a satisfying dinner. Using Oscar Mayer’s BOLD Italian Style Herb Turkey Breast, this recipe brings a gourmet touch to a classic sandwich, made easily in your own kitchen.

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 10-12 minutes

Servings: 6 subs

Ingredients

  • 1 large Italian loaf (approximately 18-20 inches), sliced lengthwise and then cut into 6 individual 6-inch sub portions
  • 1 (8 oz) package of Oscar Mayer BOLD Italian Style Herb Turkey Lunch Meat
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, for spreading on bread
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves (about 4-5 leaves per sub)
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce, divided
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Carefully cut the large Italian loaf lengthwise, then divide it into six equal, individual sub sandwich bread portions. This makes them easier to handle and serve.
  3. Lightly spread a small amount of softened butter on the cut side of both the top and bottom halves of each Italian bread portion. This adds a lovely golden crust and flavor.
  4. Arrange the bottom slices of the Italian bread on a greased baking sheet or a large grill pan. Load each bottom half generously with slices of Oscar Mayer BOLD Italian Style Herb Turkey Lunch Meat.
  5. Evenly distribute the fresh spinach leaves over the turkey slices, then spoon a small amount of marinara sauce (about 1 tablespoon per sub) over the spinach.
  6. Sprinkle a portion of the shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1 tablespoon per sub) over the marinara and spinach, ensuring a good layer of cheesy goodness.
  7. Place the top halves of the Italian bread, cut-side down, on the same baking sheet or grill pan, next to their respective bottoms. Sprinkle a little extra shredded cheese on top of these bread halves. This creates that delicious, crispy cheese topping.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is beautifully melted and bubbly, and the bread is lightly toasted.
  9. Carefully remove from the oven. If desired, you can place the top halves onto the bottom halves immediately or serve them open-faced. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Italian Style Turkey Subs!

Note: The exact amounts for spinach, marinara, and cheese can be adjusted to your family’s preferences. For this recipe, we found these quantities ideal for six 6-inch subs.
