Turkey, Bacon and Havarti Sandwich

Submitted by Nancy G.

"I love havarti (and bacon and turkey!) and this is an excellent sandwich. If you can't find havarti, muenster can be substituted. I also use the precooked bacon, heated up in the microwave according to package directions. The sandwich can be made ahead. Chilling time is not included in the prep or cook time. The recipe is adapted from a magazine."

Yum! This was easy and really good. I couldn't find a round loaf so used an oval one. I made 2 layers of the turkey, peppers, and cheese. Wish I had used more turkey, lol, but it seemed like enough when I was building the sandwich. There is a lot of bread in this sandwich, so next time will add more of all ingredients.
