Turkey Sandwich Supreme (Serves Six)

GaylaJ's Note:

After picking up a loaf of King's Hawaiian bread on a whim, I went searching for a sandwich recipe to use it in for Super Bowl eats. I found this one on the King's Hawaiian site and decided to try it since it is simple, and I had everything already on hand except for the dressing. I used Miller's Bacon Ranch Dressing, and the bacon flavor added a nice touch. I enjoy sandwiches of this type that serve several people, and I like that this one includes spinach. I think a clove or two of minced garlic would be a nice addition to the spinach mixture, but it does seem like I may just have a problem cooking without involving garlic. :)

I found this recipe years ago (sometime in the mid to late 90's) in the New York Times for left over turkey recipes. My kids loved it.
