The Big Bird

DIRECTIONS

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Slice tomatoes as thin as possible, generously grind pepper over the top and put into fridge to keep cool.
• In a skillet, over medium-high heat, sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until crisp-tender. (I will usually start to build the sandwich while garlic and onions are cookin').
• Remove garlic onion mixture from skillet, reserving the oil.
• Layer the turkey first followed by the Bacon then pour the garlic & onion mixture over the turkey and bacon on the bottom half of French bread, drizzle oil mixture lightly over the top and then sprinkle with basil.
• Top with cheese and remaining half of bread.
• Wrap loaf in foil.
• Bake at 375°F for 25 minutes & cheese is melted.
• unwrap and remove bottom slice of bread (upside down) add the cool, peppered sliced tomatoes, close it up and eat that bird!
