There's nothing better than a turkey sandwich (prepared according to these specifications)

Get freshly sliced turkey from the deli, use very good bread and cheese, buy more salt & vinegar chips than you think you need, don't say "hoagie", and always have pickles on hand.

New Jersey Deli Turkey Sandwich

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch of salt
A few thin slices of white onion
Sub roll (or, for a delicious variation, ciabatta bread)
3-4+ slices freshly sliced turkey
1-2 slices sharp provolone cheese
Handful of shredded iceberg lettuce
A few slices of tomato

1. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, oregano, and salt. Add the sliced onion and allow it to sit in the oil and vinegar mixture while preparing the other ingredients.

2. Slice a sub roll or ciabatta in half and layer ingredients on the bottom half in the following order: turkey, cheese, iceberg (add a drizzle of your oil and vinegar mixture here), tomato, and onion.

3. Serve the sandwich with the extra oil and vinegar on the side for drizzling into dry spots (or dunking), plenty of salt and vinegar chips, and a pickle.

   Alternatively, go to Jersey Mikes and order #7 Mike’s Way with extra vinegar.
